Letter "B" » Bettye LaVette Quotes
«What I'm experiencing right now is relief. When I read Rob [Bowman]'s liner notes, I felt, 'He's saying all of this about me .' I was walking around frightened that I was gonna die and no one had ever heard of me. To give your life to one thing and then have no one even know that I did it, that was a pall that hung over me. That was inspiring sadness that was going into my songs.»

«I went to Joe Henry's house before we went to the studio and sat there on his floor and sang the songs to him and said, 'This is how I'm going to sing them,' and I think he was a little surprised.»
Author: Bettye LaVette
«I haven't been given the lack of arrogance, which would make me act like a 60-year-old. When they came to rescue me, I was intact.»
