Tiffany Darwish Quotes

I'ma continue to make records, continue to make hits, continue to be what I am, legendary.

You look at what One Direction has done and just say, 'That is just lucky;' it is not.

Hillbilly Rock' was the song that opened the door and gave me a reason to get a bus and a band and cowboy clothes to go out there and figure it out in front of everybody. And the hits started coming.

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I think a lot of my dreams have come true, and my next dream is to have a No. 1 selling album. A Grammy-award-winning album.

For a lot of pop performers, fame and celebrity is part of the job. But for singer-songwriters, no one really cares.

After 'Sports' came out in the fall of 1983, everything changed for me. Four of the album's singles became top-10 hits, and by the end of June in 1984, the album was No. 1 on the Billboard chart. It was quite a ride, and for the first time I had enough money to live the way I wanted.

The experiences of promoting my first album were really something; there is so much illusion in my environment (touring and pop music) that I wanted to clear away.
