My Betty Page

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
-Ray Charles

“She had these long fingers, these beautiful long fingers, and it was one of the things that first struck me when I met her. Having had my photo taken by Life magazine, and by Avedon and all these people, I remember thinking: “God, she really holds that camera gracefully.” And I think that probably is one of the signs of a great photographer, because you ought to hold the instrument of your profession well. And she certainly did that.” -Paul McCartney
