More quotes by Frank Sinatra
The best revenge is the massive success.
Frank Sinatra
I've always had a theory that whenever guys and gals start swinging, they begin to lose interest in conquering the world. They just want a comfortable pad and stereo and wheels, and their thoughts turn to the good things of life - not to war. They loosen up, they live and they're more apt to let live.
Frank Sinatra
Don’t hide your scars. They make you who you are
Frank Sinatra
Deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac . . . it fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people.
Frank Sinatra
The cigarettes you light one after another won’t help you forget her.
Frank Sinatra
To me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line.
Frank Sinatra
As you may know, I have many good friends in the press who, unfortunately, have thus far refused to identify themselves and go public.
Frank Sinatra
With few exceptions, every major pop singer in the US during her generation has been touched in some way by her genius. It is Billie Holiday who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me. Lady Day is unquestionably the most important influence on American popular singing in the last twenty years.
Frank Sinatra
If you possess something but you can't give it away, then you don't possess it... it possesses you.
Frank Sinatra
The reading of the song is vital. The written word is first always . . . first. Not belittling the music, but it really is a backdrop. To convey the meaning of a song you need to look at the lyric and understand it.
Frank Sinatra
There are several things I think I would have done if I had the chance again. I would have been a little more patient about getting out into the world. I would have seen to it that I had a more formal education. I would have become an accomplished mu
Frank Sinatra
You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.
Frank Sinatra
What's [the Beatles'] I Am the Walrus all about?
Frank Sinatra
Nothing anybody's said or written about me ever bothers me, except when it does.
Frank Sinatra
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine.
Frank Sinatra
I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.
Frank Sinatra
Fresh air makes me throw up. I can't handle it. I'd rather be around three Denobili cigars blowing in my face all night.
Frank Sinatra
Critics don't bother me because if I do badly, I know I'm bad before they even write it. And if I'm good, I know I'm good. I know best about myself, so a critic doesn't anger me.
Frank Sinatra
It took me a long, long time to learn what I now know, and I don't want that to die with me.
Frank Sinatra
Rock 'n roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons and by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration and sly, lewd, in plain fact, dirty lyrics ... manages to be the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth.
