“That moment, the perfect day has started two years prior. The consolidation and getting all of that together, that was the beginning of me saying Hey, wait a minute. Something else is happening to Tina here. That's what I talked to myself. There's a movement coming here. And then that day, just would you say, summarized it? Yeah. That was it. Now I have a husband, and we will go the rest of my way together.”

“I chose the song because when I listened to the words, it was very final. And he said, And Time has come. That's the introduction. Something's down the final curtain. Yes. I might cry if I sing it.

“You know, Oprah, what I think I really needed love. I just needed to A person. The feeling of love in a person is very important to have. So I walked through the airport and as I got to the door that was walking out, this really handsome young man stepped out from behind a column. I think he was just coming and he had his arms out. He said, hello. So what first got me, I stepped back two steps because I didn't know who he was. And also it was another kind of handsome. He was an unusual looking man. Great eyes. So I got in the car with Irvin. And my heart was bloop already. My hands were wet. And I thought, oh my God, this is love at first sight. It was love at first sight.”

“You know, I endured. Hardship all the way. If we stay on course, we stay focused, never smoking, never drinking, never doing drugs. My legacy is that I stayed on chorus from the beginning to the end because I believed in something inside of me that told me that it can get better or you can make something better and that I want it better. So my legacy is a person that strived for wanting it better and got it.”

And I really looked at the land, you know, seeing it for years and years by bus and all over. And Oprah, I have to say some kind of way I felt like I'd finished living in America. I felt that you'd done it, that I had done it. There was not a desire anymore, but I was maybe it was because I had something, I had lived in Europe and felt something different.”

“You know, I'm going to tell you the truth, it was 20 years. I didn't feel anything about whether Ike was alive or dead at that time. He was totally gone in my memory or anything. So when I heard he was dead, it was almost like hearing a person that I didn't know anymore.”

“It really hurt, but I was still trying to figure out what was happening, and then so then the beating came, you know, yes, y'all, you'd like all the rest. I was down by then, really starting to cry. And then he said, dead in bed. That was really awful. Have sex after, you know, I hate you. How can I let you? How can we make love now if it's love? And went through that, and then I lay there with a swollen head just having sex. Feeling like you have really gotten yourself into something, I had nowhere to go. I had a child. I had already a child from one of the musicians. I had nowhere to run. I needed to make money. I weren't to sing to make money.”

“So then he said, I want to see you. So I went into his room. He started that, he had a sick way, I found. He started it with what are you trying to do to me? And then the next thing he would pick up something because, you know, if you play guitar, you can't fight and play the guitar. So he always fought with something. And that against the head, always the head with a shoe stretcher. And I had never been beaten. The wooden shoe shoes.”

“We didn't talk about it. When I recorded the song, A Fool in Love, I took it to New York Juggy Mary of Sue Records. He said, why don't you keep it with a girl's voice? I like it. And then he hadn't considered that. So then Ike's problem was he was a musician that always wanted to be a star and was a star locally, but never internationally to travel. So he then changed the name to Ike and changed my name to Tina because if I ran away, Tina was his name. It was patent, as you call it.”

“During my time, when you sing and mind was singing and dancing, you fly, you move away from everything that is real. You are into something that's coming out of you, a note or a song or a note or a feeling, and you get totally wrapped into that and with the motion of that in the dancing and the singing, it's like flying because you're not thinking of eating or sleeping or dressing the song and the singing Totally takes you out.”

“It felt so good because I saw all of those faces that you don't see on stage. You only see a few. But when I was over them, it was so rewarding to give myself to them.

“It looked effortless. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, Oprah. I enjoyed that. You know, whenever I got to certain songs like Simply the Best of Proud Mary or What's Love Got to Do With It? There were certain key songs, but there were certain songs in between that worked me a little bit harder to get to those ones. My idea is still, if I ever go back for any reason in any way, I will have to create another way that will get people to accept it because no one ever wants to see Tina do performance any other way than that. Right. Well, you can't add 100 or 80 or 90. So I don't think they would accept me standing in a wonderful gown singing. That's not me. Yeah.”

“I couldn't hit my notes. Damn it, I wanted to hit those notes. And I had to really fake those notes somehow, you know, but I managed it. It took every drop of energy and life out of me. Afterwards, I took a hot bath and just laid and then I would eat. It would take really until the next evening for me to restore that energy back. So I did nothing but that so that I could complete continue.”

“It was the second gear. The first few seconds was, you know, the look and everything. And then the second song I started to press fire and I was losing the beauty, but that wasn't important then because I knew I already had my audience. And then I made the first costume change. Second gear. I went for it. Third gear, that was when I changed the clothes. The last time I got on that crane and went out to the people. And that was it. So it started to become harder.”

“Every night, that's all you do, everyone is having a good time. You're up there working. It just was years and years of, and oh, again, the body had started to react on working on high blood pressure. I was taking medication. Which pulled me back? I couldn't get into that second gear to. To”

“More than singing, more than a rock and roll star. I didn't know how my style of work on stage could give people hope and make them go out and make it happen for themselves.

“Up the shoes. Oprah, my friend, very easy. I've been working towards that for so long over. I worked hard all my life. Nobody gave me ever a thing. And When I started to take care of my family, I would say, oh, I wish someone would do that for me. And I knew that it wouldn't happen. So I worked. And when that happened, that means I balanced my money. I had to make sure that financially that I could do it. And when I left there, I put it to rest. I put it to sleep. I tried to forget all of those stressful moments, even in the dressing room and not feeling like going on stage. Whenever it's time for me to be Tina, something turned. And that's that professional side. And I became, no matter what I felt or how sick I was or aching toe, I like, I did it because I wanted to leave that stage knowing that everybody had a wonderful time. And I believe that's what happened.”

And they were.”

“Okay, I have to tell you because I started to plan in January and I had really gotten tired. I was tired of thinking about it. I was tired of waiting for the day. I wanted to get in the car and go to Italy before it's time. And then I said to Irvin, I said, You know what, darling? I'm going to miss all of that. I won't see it. So then he started to think for me. So he said, you know what? If we got a place in the house where you can sit and peek and look, watch people coming in.”

“There comes a time in life, and as everyone knows, I'm 73 years old, you must put things in place. First, I started consolidating, getting rid of property. I got rid of the house in France, property in America. I say made a situation for my sons. Anything that was costly, I totally got rid of. And then the next thing I found that If something happened in death for me, which Irvin and I weren't married before now, he would have no say. And I thought it was a bit unfair to live with someone for as long as we are and not to give him any say.”
