Billie Holiday

There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen and I was three.

Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.

Love is like a faucet, it turns off and on.

They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.

I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.
