More quotes by Frank Sinatra
Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.
Frank Sinatra
I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
Frank Sinatra
You can be the most artistically perfect performer in the world, but an audience is like a broad - if you're indifferent, Endsville.
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
Now there's a grown-up swinging town.
Frank Sinatra
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

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
The best is yet to come and won't that be fine.
Frank Sinatra
May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.
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.
Frank Sinatra
I don't know what other singers feel when they articulate lyrics, but being an 18-karat manic-depressive and having lived a life of violent emotional contradictions, I have an overacute capacity for sadness as well as elation.
Frank Sinatra
You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit.
Frank Sinatra
You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass.
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
It is Billie Holiday who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me.
Frank Sinatra
What is the point of singing wonderful lyrics if the audience can't understand what is being said or heard?
Frank Sinatra
You are the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long. You are the breathless hush of evening that trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
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
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
Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent.
