Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.
Edith Piaf
Don't care what people say. Don't give a damn about their laws.
I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears.
People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
If God has allowed me to earn so much money, it is because He knows I give it all away.
I want to make people cry even when they don't understand my words.
As far as I'm concerned, love means fighting, big fat lies, and a couple of slaps across the face.
Death is the beginning of something.
I wouldn't mind at all coming back to earth after my death.
I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.
Death does not exist.
I've been thinking about Jesus. Don't you find it a bit strange that, since He was living with His family and all, He up and left them just when they needed him most?
All I've done all my life is disobey.
I don't want to die an old lady.
Tell me what you'd like to hear me sing. I'll sing whatever you like, after which I'll take up a collection, if you don't mind.
To be successful in my native France, where people speak the same language and understand me, is nothing.
To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.
I'd like to see one person - just one - who would own up to having been a coward.
Money? How did I lose it? I never did lose it. I just never knew where it went.
