"Every day I remind myself of all that I have been given... With singing, you never know when you are going to lose the voice, and that makes you appreciate the time that you have when you are still singing well. I am always thanking God for another season, another month, another performance."

(Anita O'Day, nome completo Anita Belle Colton O'Day, cantante jazz; Chicago, 18 ottobre 1919 – Los Angeles, 23 novembre 2006)
