More quotes by Aretha Franklin
I sing to the realists people who accept it like it is.
Aretha Franklin
I love 'Anne of Green Gables.' I have for years. That's one of my favourite things. She's such a can-do kind of girl that's why I'm crazy about her.
Aretha Franklin
I'm the lady next door when I'm not on stage.
Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin
On the sly, scoping for love.
Aretha Franklin
Falling out of love is like losing weight. It's a lot easier putting it on than taking it off.
Aretha Franklin
I sing to the realists, people who accept it like it is. I express problems. There are tears when it's sad and smiles when it's happy. It seems simple to me, but for some people, I guess feelin' takes courage.
Aretha Franklin
Be your own artist, and always be confident in what youre doing. If youre not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

If you disrespect everybody that you run into, how in the world do you think everybody's supposed to respect you?
Aretha Franklin
I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard any geniuses.
Aretha Franklin
My heart is still there in gospel music. It never left . . . I'm gonna make a gospel record and tell Jesus I cannot bear these burdens alone.
Aretha Franklin
When God loves you, what can be better than that?
Aretha Franklin
R&B is not a fad it's the truth.
Aretha Franklin
And I was booked once to go on 'Ed Sullivan' and I got bumped and ran out the back door crying.
Aretha Franklin
Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I'm using to the highest degree possible the gift that god gave me to use. I'm happy with that.
Aretha Franklin
You're a no good heartbreaker, you're a liar, and you're a cheat. I don't know why I let you do these things to me.
Aretha Franklin
Politics are not my arena. Music is.
Aretha Franklin
I've been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.
Aretha Franklin
