1. I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel. 2. After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.
3. After things started to happen here, my choice of material was extremely limited. It was a weird situation.
4. Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.
6. His last 2 shows in the U.S. were in Chicago and St. Louis. I don't know what made me go on the trip with him, but I'm so very glad I did. They were two of the finest concerts I've ever seen.
7. I am the daughter of the Chairman of the Board and thus, was raised with great music.
8. I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.
9. I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.
11. I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time, I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.
12. I was a star in Italy, Australia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.
13. I was at a party three weeks prior to the murders at Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's house.
14. I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.
15. I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.
17. It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognized.
18. Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!
19. Morrissey wrote to me and said: "I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972", I said: "what time, where?"
20. The one hit song that I have tremendous gratitude for is Boots, because it has a life of its own. It's like being identified with a brand name.
21. Then all of a sudden, Quentin Tarantino comes along and puts a song from 40 years ago in one of his films and they've suddenly discovered you. That was a real gift that Quentin gave me.
23. There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.
24. What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you're gone, you're history.
25. Once I had my first hit, Dad started to introduce himself as Nancy Sinatra's father!
26. I got married and basically forgot about Elvis. Then Speedway came. That was the most fun of all, to see him every day all those weeks.
28. I used to be called "Nancy Nice Lady".
29. I was a teenager and one of my favorite things to do was go to his record sessions. This was the most fun period.
30. I was square. I'm still that way.
31. I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.
33. The Capitol years were definitely the most metamorphic. His life changed and so did his voice, his clothes, choice of material and arrangements.
34. The Columbia years are the most sentimental for me. My parents were together through most of that time and we were a happy, sort of normal family.
35. The Duets albums are interesting and fun, though not my favorites. People called it the incest song, which I thought was really silly.
What do you think of Nancy Sinatra's quotes?
