Billie Holiday — "I never had a mother that was really a mother. I just had a kid that was a mothe…"

I never had a mother that was really a mother. I just had a kid that was a mother. She was eighteen, I was thirteen, and she used to go out and live it up. So I had to go out and get a job. I was working in a whorehouse.
