I Can Only Sing Songs My Way.

I Don't Think I Ever Sing The Same Way Twice. The Blues Is Sort Of A Mixed-up Thing. You Just Have To Feel It. Anything I Do Sing Is Part Of My Life.

If I'm Going To Sing Like Someone Else, Then I Don't Need To Sing At All.

Somebody Once Said We Never Know What Is Enough Until We Know What's More Than Enough.

I Think I Copied My Style From Louis Armstrong. Because I Used To Like The Big Volume And The Big Sound That Bessie Smith Got When She Sang ... So I Liked The Feeling That Louis Got And I Wanted The Big Volume That Bessie Smith Got. But I Found That It Didn't Work With Me, Because I Didn't Have A Big Voice. So Anyway Between The Two Of Them I Sorta Got Billie Holiday.

I Never Hurt Nobody But Myself And That's Nobody's Business But My Own.
