I got to be constantly reassured that somebody loves me.
I suppose I could have sat back and pitied myself. For a time I wondered if I'd ever be able to go on to a stage and perform again. After a couple of weeks I began to feel I could fight my way back to health if I put my mind to it. I thought to myself: 'Pity never did anybody any good. Go on. Patsy, show 'em what you can do'
A lot of people say you've got all the loving in the world when you walk out on stage. But hell, that applause don't help you any when you're lying in that bed at night being totally ignored
Mother would come and pick me up at work and take me wherever I could get a job. Mother didn't trust anybody with me. Usually we'd get home at 3 in the morning.
I could spit dust I'm so mad. He wants to put violins on my new session. I'll die before I'll go all the way pop.
You want me to act like we've never kissed, you want to forget; pretend we've never met , and I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet... You walk by, and I fall to pieces.
I've become a captive of my own ambitions.
I don't wanna get rich - just live good.
Jesus has been in my room. He has taken my hand and told me, No, Not now. I have other things for you to do.
In childhood I developed a serious throat infection, and my heart stopped beating. I recovered from that illness with a voice that boomed forth like Kate Smith's!
Find one person in the audience and sing to them with all of your heart. And then cast a spell over them. Hoss, if you can't do it with feeling - don't.
I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.
If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.
If you can't do it with feeling, don't.
