More quotes by Teena Marie
I try to keep my ear to the streets without sacrificing who I am as an artist. If a song needs a drum machine I'll use a drum machine. If it needs a drummer, I'll use a real drummer.

You never know where a blessing can come from.

My first album came out in 1979.

I have a deep affinity for New Orleans - its like a second home to me - they treat me like I'm their own.

I have a different mentality when it comes to catering to a man, I just won't allow it. Don't get me wrong, I'll do for you but I'm not taking care of no man and catering to him for life he better be bringing something to the table. I learned that from my mother and my grandmother.

I just think it's a blessing that I was able to have the gift of words and to be able to put them into music. I was given a great gift all the way around. I didn't ever have to really go out and look for songs, you know.

I still have a passion for the music, which is such a beautiful thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream and have a melody in my head, and run to my piano.

I'm from California, and still live in LA.
