Wanda Jackson quotes:

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

I never kissed a bear, I've never kissed a goon, but I can shake a chicken in the middle of a room.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.

You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.

Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit.

They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think.

So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.

If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.

I'm still learnin'. I pick up something from every performer I watch.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

He's a mean, mean man, but I love him all I can.
