Quote for the Day:
"People think I'm ancient, or near death, darlin'!
They can't believe I'm walking.
I just go along with it.
One time when I was playing in Branson, I'm not kidding you, we had people in the lobby buying tickets to the show asking if I was still alive.
My name was on the ticket. Who did they think they were going to see?
I just thought '"Oh lord in heaven!"

Quote for the Day:
"It was a glorious time and the best education I've had.
We travelled to all nations, heard all tongues, and even hobnobbed with royalty.
People don't know where I am, and what I'm doing. I haven't lived a fairy tale lifestyle for many years. I've been up and down - a rollercoaster it's been.
It [['Dreamgirls') was really our story, but it's not true.
Little things were true, but the true story has not been told yet."

I love the quote, westgrand!!!
December 17th:
Quote for the Day:
"We would be in there with the rhythm section, and singing at the same time that the rhythm section was putting their music down.
Not only did you get the warmth and integrity of the vocals and instruments together, but the technical stuff didn't get in the way.
That is the difference with [[today's music), not that they haven't come up with something that is cool, with this digital stuff, but they are [[told) to sing it one time, and then they just keep looping it.
Where is the warmth in that?
I think that we have lost something."

Quote for the Day:
"And Motown's reputation for being a family really grew around the way the artists worked with each other.
We genuinely were a family of artists who looked after each other.
While the producers were young people, just like we were - and they were basically experimenting on us.
So it was like a school.
Today, we're not in touch on a regular basis. But, whenever we do see each other, we're usually very glad, and there's a lot of embracing..."

Quote for the Day:
"I think that it's easy to become captivated by attention, and by people's attention on you.
I tried not to let that happen to myself. I don't think I ever got to a point where I was acting out to get attention, because that's not my nature.
I do think that sometimes the people around you try to create circumstances to keep you in front of the headlines so that they can keep living off of your fame."
- Donna Summer, PopMatters interview, 2008.
