believed stayed
My legacy is that I stayed on course... from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me.
divorced life praise relationship took
I never put a lot of praise on myself because of my relationship with Ike. I was just happy when I started to like myself - when I divorced and took control of my life.
I always had long legs. When I was young, I used to think, 'Why do I look like a little pony?'
deal life older people realise wonderful
People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happens, but how you deal with it.
bringing creativity purge rid self true unhappy whatever
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.
age certain issue
Age is no issue to me. I think 50 is the new 30 and 70 is the new 50. There are no rules that say you have to dress a certain way or be a certain way.
acting hated pictures sexy soon time tina work
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.
america lasts success until
Success in America - what I find with my homeland, nothing lasts very long. Europe is different. You're right there with them until you come back.
love
My mother and father didn't love each other, so they were always fighting.
came dresses grew learned worked
As I grew up, I learned what worked for me. That's where the short dresses came from. And you can't dance in a long dress.
bothered country harmony love maybe problem white
I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
Well, these days, if you're away five years, you might not be able to get back.
