Best quotes from Aretha Franklin

Aretha Louise Franklin was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and civil rights activist. Franklin recorded 112 charted singles on Billboard, including 77 Hot 100 entries, 17 top-ten pop singles, 100 R&B entries, and 20 number-one R&B singles, becoming the most charted female artist in history. She won 18 Grammy Awards, including the first eight awards given for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (1968–1975), and she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Throughout her career, Franklin received numerous honors. She was awarded the National Medal of Arts, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1987, she became the first female performer to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2019 awarded Franklin a posthumous special citation “for her indelible contribution to American music and culture for more than five decades.”

 

Some of the best quotes from Aretha Franklin are listed below.

  1. “52 years of recording for other people. I thought at this point, it’s time for you to record for yourself. So that way there wouldn’t be so many spoons in the soup. There would just be one Aretha spoon in the soup.” – Aretha Franklin
  2. “As a parent you try to maintain a certain amount of control and so you have this tug-of-war… You have to learn when to let go. And that’s not easy.” – Aretha Franklin
  3. “Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.” – Aretha Franklin
  4. “Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I’m using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I’m happy with that.” – Aretha Franklin
  5. “Being the Queen is not all about singing and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much to do with your service to people. And your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well.” – Aretha Franklin
  6. “Better friends than lovers. Sugar can’t you see? You need you and I really need me.” – Aretha Franklin
  7. “Don’t say Aretha is making a comeback, because I’ve never been away! – Aretha Franklin
  8. “Everybody wants respect. In their own way, three-year-olds would like respect, and acknowledgment, in their terms.” – Aretha Franklin
  9. “Falling out of love is like losing weight. It’s a lot easier putting it on than taking it off.” – Aretha Franklin
  10. “I don’t do crazy things – I just don’t.” – Aretha Franklin
  11. “I don’t feel one’s personal medical condition is everybody’s business. It just isn’t something you advertise, and it’s not open to discussion.” – Aretha Franklin
  12. “I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks.” – Aretha Franklin
  13. “I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard any geniuses.” – Aretha Franklin
  14. “I remember singing around the house to records that were playing. All kinds of music. And the great James Cleveland was often in our house, and I grew up with his sound as well.” – Aretha Franklin
  15. “I sing to the realists. People who accept it like it is.” – Aretha Franklin
  16. “I think women and children and older people are the three least-respected groups in our society.” – Aretha Franklin
  17. “I’m a big woman. I need big hair.” – Aretha Franklin
  18. “I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.” – Aretha Franklin
  19. “I’ve always felt that rock & roll was very, very wholesome.” – Aretha Franklin
  20. “I’ve been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.” – Aretha Franklin
  21. “I’ve never recorded anything I didn’t like.” – Aretha Franklin
  22. “If a song’s about something I’ve experienced or that could’ve happened to me it’s good. But if it’s alien to me, I couldn’t lend anything to it. Because that’s what soul is all about.” – Aretha Franklin
  23. “If you disrespect everybody that you run into, how in the world do you think everybody’s supposed to respect you? – Aretha Franklin
  24. “It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I’ve done my job.” – Aretha Franklin
  25. “It’s hard. When you love food, and when you’ve done a high energy concert, you know, a carrot is not gonna work.” – Aretha Franklin
  26. “It’s very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can.” – Aretha Franklin
  27. “Let’s start with the church. As you know, it’s my background, it’s a natural setting for me and it’s definitely my roots.” – Aretha Franklin
  28. “Men have always been gentlemen to me – responsible people with healthy attitudes.” – Aretha Franklin
  29. “Music changes, and I’m gonna change right along with it.” – Aretha Franklin
  30. “Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” – Aretha Franklin
  31. “My faith always has been and always will be important to me.” – Aretha Franklin

  40. “The milk of kindness flows through my body, I shall follow Jesus to the Taco Bell and give thanks.” – Aretha Franklin
  41. “Trying to grow up is hurting. You make mistakes. You try to learn from them, and when you don’t, it hurts even more.” – Aretha Franklin
  42. “We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It’s our basic human right.” – Aretha Franklin
  43. “We didn’t have music videos. You weren’t an overnight sensation. You had to work at it and learn your craft: how to take care of your voice, how to pace your concerts, all that trial and error.” – Aretha Franklin
  44. “When God loves you, what can be better than that?” – Aretha Franklin
  45. “Who hasn’t had a weight issue? If not the body, certainly the big head!” – Aretha Franklin
  46. “Women absolutely deserve respect.” – Aretha Franklin
  47. “Women have broken through the glass ceiling, and they’re now more and more in the power seats.” – Aretha Franklin
  48. “Yes, I’ve always been fashion conscious.” – Aretha Franklin
  49. “You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off.” – Aretha Franklin
  50. “You’re a no good heartbreaker, you’re a liar, and you’re a cheat. I don’t know why I let you do these things to me.” – Aretha Franklin
