Aretha Franklin

We didn't have music videos. You weren't an overnight sensation. You had to work at it and learn your craft: how to take care of your voice, how to pace your concerts, all that trial and error. ”

My generation, we came along, we had to really know our craft. ”

I don't feel one's personal medical condition is everybody's business. It just isn't something you advertise, and it's not open to discussion. ”
