Brenda Lee Quotes
“The amazing thing is that I’m sane. I’m not bitter. I’m not drugged out. I’m not broke. I’m still married to the same guy. My children don’t hate me.”

“I still don’t look at myself as a star. I’ve always had a thankful heart.”

“I’m not used to introspection. I’ve never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.”

“I’ve spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I’ve had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.”

“The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.”
