Ronnie Spector

“I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was a weird-lookin' girl.”

“I just wanted to be a singer. That's all I wanted to do. That and have a family. And I've done both.”

“The bigger your hair, the closer you are to God.”

“I'm a rock-and-roll singer. That's my life.”

“Everything is attitude. You know, you can have a great voice, but if you don't have the attitude, you've got nothing.”

“You could say I'm a survivor. But I don't like that word. I'm a victor.”

“We weren't afraid to be hot. That was our gimmick.”

“'Be My Baby' is the song that keeps on giving.”

“I'd much rather be on stage singing and rocking out than sitting at home.”

“I'm not a diva. I'm a star. There's a difference.”

“My voice is my instrument. It's what I have.”

“I loved rock and roll. That's all I ever listened to.”

“When I was in the Ronettes, it was a whole different thing. I was a kid.”

“The love from the fans is what saved me.”
