I have always examined closely the motives of any group for which I am asked to raise money.

Middle-aged women have greater stability, they are more loyal, and their capacity for steady work is greater than that of younger women.

I am exceedingly lucky that my voice, along with perfect pitch and perfect rhythm, was given me at birth.
song ears
I learn my songs by ear.
mood ballads
In nearly all ballads, the words set the mood and meaning, while the music intensifies or enhances them.
rock-and-roll rocks done
If rock-and-roll is well done, there's nothing so terribly wrong with that kind of music. But the lyrics are another story.
weight obvious
It became obvious in 1957 that I was endangering my health by carrying so much weight.

I have personally believed in every product I have ever advertised.

In 29 years, I had recorded over 2,200 songs. I was amazed.

I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience, telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do, the thrill is mine.

I am harder on myself than anyone else could be.
dog home mean
I love animals to the extent that my home is my dog's home! Which means that nothing is too good for my Freckles-chairs, couches, beds. But I do draw the line on chipmunks nibbling at my table linens, bedding, blankets, etc.
