I wasn't allowed to grow as an artist. My albums were nicer to look at than to listen to.

I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.

I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.

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.

The funniest thing is I listen on some of those bootleg albums, and I remember on two tours I wasn't playing with one finger at all because I'd done damage to it. One time I'd ripped it on a fence or something, another time I got it crushed. So when I hear a wrong note, I think wait a minute... But, I wouldn't have the nerve to do it now.

Once I had my first hit, Dad started to introduce himself as Nancy Sinatra?s father!
