I'll perform all the way to the grave.

I'm very shy in a crowd.

I keep showing decade after decade that I am a real performer.

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.

Being honored at Berklee College of Music; I got a doctorate. I am Doctor Patti.

A diva is someone who is a perfectionist, who does her best in her craft.

You don't have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.
