Nina Quotes

I think it’s fair to say that Nina Simone was a prodigy Picture Quote #1

Nina, you taught me to be something better. They could be taught, too Picture Quote #1

My big influences are Joni Mitchell, and a lot of classical and Indian music, as well as Nina Simone and the personal blues and jazz of Billie Holiday. Other influences for me include Bjork, Nick Drake, and Sufjan Stevens Picture Quote #1

There’s a Nina Simone record that I love, ‘Live at Vine Street,’ and she sings flat on it. I can imagine she might’ve told the record label, ‘Oh, God, you’re not releasing that!’ But I’m glad they did Picture Quote #1

That’s one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so beautiful. It’s an old song, sung by Nina Simone. This is the Cat Power cover. We pushed hard to get it and were lucky. It’s so stunning Picture Quote #1

I was taken to my first fashion show - Nina Ricci haute couture - in Paris by the White Russian princess, down on her luck, whom I was boarding with in Paris in 1963. I was captivated by the glamour of the gilded salon, the elegant clothes, and the audience of grand ladies Picture Quote #1

We always get back to old soul singers like Nina Simone, and how her recordings sound. Also new music like Tobacco, or people that use a mixture of analog and electronic music Picture Quote #1

In my last year of drama school, I was Abigail in ‘The Crucible’ and Nina in ‘The Seagull,’ and I did some Shakespeare with the RSC. That’s what casting directors saw me in, and I got put up for a lot of period drama auditions. I always get told I suit the costumes. I don’t think I have a very modern-looking face Picture Quote #1

I’ve always sung. I was really into musical theater when I was growing up. As a kid, I listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, actually, on cassette tapes Picture Quote #1

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my parents, who used to play a lot of Nina Simone and older blues, but my brother and sister Picture Quote #1

If Rihanna stripped it all down morally rather than with her clothes, perhaps we’d get closer to Nina Simone. She’s talented, but all we want is to sing the truth. If Britney Spears was to sing closer to her heart, she might have been the new Bobby Gentry or Dolly Parton Picture Quote #1

Nina knew the power of black and white images. Sometimes a thing was its truest self when the colors were stripped away Picture Quote #1

I have a trainer, a really nice woman named Nina Greenberg, and she got me a training plan, and we go running in the canyons in Malibu. It’s just beautiful up there, absolutely gorgeous. You see bobcats up there sometimes Picture Quote #1

My generation is so used to having our public spaces look like the Starbucks, with the beautiful lighting and the little bit of Nina Simone and my coffee that’s blended a certain way from Costa Rica Picture Quote #1

A similar move is underway in the British Parliament. Earlier this month, more than 30 religious leaders and scholars wrote Secretary of State John Kerry asking for a meeting to discuss what’s happening to Christians and other minorities. Nina Shea organized the effort Picture Quote #1

I was really awful at auditions. There’s something about sitting down and saying into the camera: ‘I’m Nina and this is the name of my agent.’ That makes me just die inside Picture Quote #1

But my brother Joey was there, and my sister Tina Nina Minnelli was there Picture Quote #1

I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, nick Drake or Bob Dylan Picture Quote #1
