15 BEST TINA TURNER QUOTES
“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go—purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
“My legacy is that I stayed on course… from the beginning to the end because I believed in something inside of me.”
“I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I’m not old yet!”
“My mother and father didn’t love each other, so they were always fighting.”
“I believe that if you’ll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.”
“My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments—I’ll use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.”
“People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realize it’s not what happens, but how you deal with it.”
“I’m self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream—to have class.”
“Physical strength in a woman—that’s what I am.”
“When my parents went off to Knoxville to work, I lived with my father’s mother. She was strict—the kind who starched and ironed dresses. I had to sit more than I played. Oh, I was miserable. I liked being out with the animals. I’d come in the house with my hair pulled out, sash off the dress, dirty as heck. I was always getting spanked.”
“I don’t hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I’m acting the whole time I’m there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I’m Tina again.”
“I am attracted to myths.”
“I’ve never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don’t have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.”
“I’m not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it’s like relaxing into—and an acceptance of—things.”
“I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you’ve bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.”
RIP Tina Turner 💔😭
