“I'm going to be the best singer in the World, […] the best singer that ever was.”

“But it is Billie Holiday, whom I first heard in 52nd Street clubs in the early 1930s, who was and still remains the single greatest musical influence on me.”

In "The Way I Look at Race" https://sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php/46953-Frank-Sinatra-on-Racism by Sinatra (as told to Allan Morrison), in Ebony (July 1958)
Kontextus: In terms of my singing I have sometimes been asked how it all began, and it’s usually been a little hard for me to set the story down in any continuous narrative. From the days of my childhood I’ve been listening to sounds and singers, both colored and white, and absorbing a little bit here and a little bit there. Countless musicians of talent have helped. But it is Billie Holiday, whom I first heard in 52nd Street clubs in the early 1930s, who was and still remains the single greatest musical influence on me. It has been a warm and wonderful influence and I am very proud to acknowledge it. Lady Day is unquestionably the most important influence on American popular singing in the last 20 years. With a few exceptions, every major pop singer in the U. S., during her generation has been touched in some way by her genius.

“I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man.”

Playboy interview (1963)
Kontextus: I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday — cash me out.

“If I had as many love affairs as you've given me credit for, I would now be speaking to you from a jar at the Harvard Medical School.”

“Fear is the enemy of logic.”

The Way You Wear Your Hat (1997)

“What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can.”

In a 1965 interview with Walter Cronkite, as quoted in "Just A Couple Of Legends" CBS News.com (20 May 1998) http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/05/20/entertainment/main9899.shtml

“Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.”

As quoted in And I Quote : The Definitive Collecton of Quotes, Sayings, and Jokes for the Contemporary Speechmaker (2003) by Ashton Applewhite , Tripp Evans, and Andrew Frothingham.

“You can be the most artistically perfect performer in the world, but an audience is like a broad — if you're indifferent, Endsville.”

As quoted in Moment of Grace: The American City in the 1950s (2002) by Michael Johns.

“I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living his life, and who had good friends, a fine family. I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.”

In a 1965 interview with Walter Cronkite, as quoted in "Just A Couple Of Legends" CBS News.com (20 May 1998)
Változat: I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family — and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

“If you possess something but you can't give it away, then you don't possess it… it possesses you.”

Tom Dreesen on the Late Show with David Letterman March 30th 2009 said that Frank Sinatra had said this after giving his $2000 cuff links to a fan.
