Quotes from Brenda Lee

I've always gone to see all kinds of shows and stole what I could, as we all do. We see an artist and hear a song and think, 'I bet I could sing that song. I'll put that in my show.'

'I'm Sorry' was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.

I didn't really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
