Tina Turner's quotes

  • I'm the only person left doing the kind of work that I do.
  • I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
  • Sometimes, you've got to let everything go--purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
  • This is what I want in heaven . . . words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
  • There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star.
  • Physical strength in a woman--that's what I am.
  • I don't hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I'm acting the whole time I'm there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I'm Tina again.
  • I have a simple, childlike view of life, and I want to keep it. That's why I never got into that Beverly Hills world. So many pretentious people. They just aren't real.
  • I never did like James Brown. I always did like Ray Charles. He was my only influence, because I always liked to sing more or less like men sing, and sound like they sound. Like he and Sam Cooke were my influences.
