Turner: "I'm pleased with my life, with the journey."
Turner: "People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happens, but how you deal with it."
Turner: "I need that on stage. I need a burst of life. That's entertainment for me."
Turner: "My legacy is that I stayed on course... from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me."
Turner: "Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything... whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."
Turner: "I believe that if you'll just stand up and go, life will open up for you."
Turner: "I don't hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I'm acting the whole time I'm there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I'm Tina again."
Turner: "Sometimes we need help from a god."
Turner: "I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret."
Turner: "So when it came to role models, I looked at presidents' wives. Of course, you're talking about a farm girl who stood in the fields, dreaming, years ago, wishing she was that kind of person. But if I had been that kind of person, do you think I could sing with the emotions I do? You sing with those emotions because you've had pain in your heart."
Turner: "I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things."
Turner: "I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you've bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger."
Turner: "I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life."
Turner: "This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies."
Turner: "I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people."
Turner: "I don't like to dwell on the past."
Turner: "I'm self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream - to have class."
Turner: "I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love."
