I'm just singing for the women who think they can't speak out. Can't a man alive mistreat me, 'cause I know who I am.
Alberta Hunter
The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.
Alberta Hunter
Put your faith in God and confidence in yourself.

Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed.
Alberta Hunter
I'm having a good time, Please don't blame me, I'm knocking myself out Don't try to tame me Let me have my fun, I've got to have my fling, Some folks say I'm blowing my top Talk don't mean a thing.
Alberta Hunter
