Today is Billie Holiday's birthday. Here are 10 things she said:
- I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I've been.
- Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough.
- If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.
- Singing songs like The Man I Love or Porgy is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.
- If I don't have friends, then I ain't got nothing.
- They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.
- Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen and I was three.
- I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.
- Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.
- You've got to have something to eat, and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.
