The dialysis is to wash my blood, to keep my kidneys functioning.
Natalie Cole -
I'm just really, really thankful. I'm thankful to the doctors; I'm thankful to the family that donated the kidney.

-
I don't think that my parents even imagined that I would be exposed to drugs. In those days, for some reason, it was not talked about, just like sex was not talked about.
Natalie Cole -
God surrounded me with people of faith, people of strong faith, people of power, spiritual power, and I saw little miracles happen in their lives. By it happening in their lives, I started believing it could happen to me.
Natalie Cole -
The medication I had to take was a form of chemotherapy. You feel like death every day. No appetite. No energy. But the treatment worked. It cured my liver 80 per cent but compromised my kidneys.
Natalie Cole -
We have to stop rewarding bad behavior.
Natalie Cole -
There were so many groups that I had in college, but I was always the solo singer. But what made it so unusual back in the day was that I was a black girl playing with all these white musicians, and I was also singing rock music on top of it.
Natalie Cole -
By the time I approached my forties, I had the self-assurance to approach all the genres I love so deeply: R & B, rock, jazz, and pop.
Natalie Cole
-
I loved when my dad was home. He liked to sit in the living room and watch boxing and baseball on TV. Or he'd be tinkering around or listening to records by his musician buddies - George Shearing, Oscar Peterson and the Jackie Gleason Orchestra.
Natalie Cole -
I'll never totally get away from being who I am, which first, to many, is the daughter of Nat King Cole, which became even more intensified with the 'Unforgettable' album.
Natalie Cole -
When you reach 50, what you care about is being honest, being accurate, and being an example.
Natalie Cole -
I continually acted up to get attention. My father gave me that, and once he left, I felt that I didn't have any.
Natalie Cole -
I like Kelly Rowland, I think that she's great. It's hard to come out of the group of Destiny's Child and still kick some butt.
Natalie Cole -
My father led by example. He wasn't much of a talker - he walked life.
Natalie Cole
-
My first trip to Mexico was with my dad because of his Spanish records. That was back in 1958. I found a picture of me when I was eight dressed as a little senorita.
Natalie Cole -
I like Babyface, but he keeps the good stuff for himself. If he's willing to give his good stuff to me, we'll talk. But it can't be any of his B-grade stuff.
Natalie Cole -
I'm the type of person who won't cancel a show even if I don't feel my best.
Natalie Cole -
I think that I sound a lot better than Diana Ross.
Natalie Cole -
I think that it's going to be interesting to see where Beyonce's career goes.
Natalie Cole -
Life is such a gift, I just say thank you all day.
Natalie Cole
-
God was going to be to me the father that I never had, the father that I didn't have enough of, enough time with.
Natalie Cole -
I think people hear the warmth in my voice and the friendliness, and they think: 'Oh, she must be a very nice person'.
Natalie Cole -
There are a lot of great artists with great voices who aren't singing what they should be singing.
Natalie Cole -
It's important to wallow and grieve when you have a health issue. I don't think you really get the best stuff out of life until you've had the worst stuff.
