Gene Pitney quotes:

The thing I always liked best about touring abroad was constantly running into different people, different cultures, different foods. It really pumped up my batteries... I'm constantly playing to a demographically diverse audience... one generation is driven by nostalgia, the next by curiosity. And that's why I have no plans to retire.

Let's say I'm not feeling well, and somebody would say to me, 'Just do an easy show, just go out and do a light...' - I can't! I cannot do that kind of a show. I have to still put 150 percent into it, and it's funny: it's so healing to do that.

I always feel that it's great when you can be happy when you're by yourself. That's not a bad thing.

I was just different. When the other kids gravitated to football or basketball, I went fishing and skating. I was into trapping animals, pheasants and squirrels. Not only was I trapper, I was a taxidermist.

Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be, cause that brownstone house where my baby lives is Mecca.

Only love can break a heart, only love can mend it again.

I'm a performer. I've tried everything there is.

No it isn't very pretty, what a town without pity can do.

True love never runs smooth, that's what they say, but true love is worth all the pain.

When the world outside my arms is pulling us apart, press your lips to mine and hold me with your heart.
