country stress past
I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.
forever taken worth
taken forever but will be well worth the wait!
anybody blame earned lost produce result single space stand whatever
I earned every single thing that I have, and I've lost things as a result of me, so I don't blame anybody but Dionne, she's the one who has to stand in that space and produce whatever has to be produced.
including
Drugs of every sort, including aspirin, are not anything I even think about.
sadness feeling-sad tears
Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.
opportunity years waiting
Years ago I learned to be totally responsible for Dionne Warwick. I will not wait for opportunities. I will create them.
giving people being-human
We are all here to be a service to those who can't be a service to themselves. We can give people hope and more reasons for being human.
pain stress war
I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live.
racism prejudice defeat
I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me.
grateful world imagine
I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.
memories wall moon
Tom Walls and his cohort are wolves in sheep's clothing who will besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures by the next full moon.
ambition singers toes
I was born into a family of gospel singers. My early ambitions were many. I was going to be a ballerina. I almost had that one come true until I tore a tendon, so I transferred from my toes to my throat and that's where the talent settled.
writing kissing peers
I had said before that I'd never write an autobiography because I've been around, and there's a lot that I've seen and heard that stays with me. That's just mine. I didn't want to do a kiss-and-tell, as some of my peers have.
thinking paradise god-life
The music for me is paradise. I think it's where God lives.
