Tina Turner Biography

About herself:

“I never drink and I have never done drugs, … All I have ever done is work, work, work, my entire life.”

“I’m the only person left doing the kind of work that I do.”

“I don’t just sing my songs, I act them.”

“I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I’m not old yet!”

“Physical strength in a woman – that’s what I am.”

“I never said ‘Well, I don’t have this and I don’t have that.’ I said, ‘I don’t have this yet, but I’m going to get it.’”

Being a rock star:

“There comes a point where it is just not dignified to be a rock ‘n’ roll star.”

Others:

“This is what I want in heaven: Words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.”

“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.”
