Billie Holiday

It's like a disease. You can't get rid of it. You just have to live with it. And it's like, I don't know, it's like a habit. You can't break it.

I don't want to be a star. I want to be a good singer.

I think I'm a nice person. I like to make people happy.

I've been in trouble all my life. I was born in trouble.

I don't think I'm a genius. I just sing the way I feel.

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

I just want to be left alone. I don't want to be bothered.

I always wanted to be a dancer. But I couldn't dance.

I've been in love with a lot of men. But I've never been married to any of them.

I don't regret anything. I've had a good life.

I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I just live for today.

I don't believe in God. I believe in people.

I don't like to be told what to do. I like to do what I want to do.

I don't care what people think of me. I just care what I think of myself.

I'm not a saint. I'm a sinner.

I'm a woman. I'm supposed to be complicated.

I don't want to be famous. I just want to be happy.

I'm not a good person. I'm not a bad person. I'm just me.
