Tina Turner

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.

Greatest hits is easy because one has nothing to do - except that we both, Roger and I, felt that new songs should be there because I've been away for awhile.

There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
