When Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth.
In August most of Europe goes on holiday.
I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again.
I just feel - specifically about that holiday - why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous.
If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

I grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.
I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.

A holiday is when you celebrate something that's all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there's nothing left to celebrate but the dead.
The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.
There is an atmosphere about the picture theatre that speaks of entertainment and relaxation. The charming surroundings, good music, and the fact that each visitor is determined to enjoy a few hours of holiday all exert an influence on the mind.
Billie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.
