Ella Fitzgerald

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

I know I'm no glamour girl, and it's not easy for me to get up in front of a crowd of people. It's not easy for me to make a speech. I'm not a good speaker. I'm not a good actress. I'm not a good dancer. But I can sing.

It isn't where you came from, it's where you're going that counts.

I never knew how good I was until I started singing with Chick Webb.

I stole everything I ever heard, but mostly I stole from the horns.

The public is the best judge of anything. They decide. My main thing is to do a good show. If I do a good show, they're happy. If they're happy, I'm happy.

I sing the way I feel.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

I was in a lot of trouble as a kid. I was a runaway. I was in a reform school. I was a street kid. I was a tough kid. But I always loved music.

I don't want to be a jazz singer. I want to be a singer.

I don't think I'm a legend. I'm just a singer.

I never had a lesson. I just listened to records and sang along.

I'm very shy. I'm not a very outgoing person. But when I get on stage, I'm a different person.

I'm just a girl who loves to sing.

I don't like to talk about myself. I like to sing.

I'm not a politician. I'm a singer.

I just try to sing the best I can.

I don't think I'm a star. I'm just a singer.

I'm not a very good dancer, but I love to dance.

I love to sing. That's all I want to do.
