I`ve been called just about everything, but I`ve always thought of myself as just a singer. - Anne Murray

I hated my life when I was going through those early days and having to deal with drunken musicians and drugged musicians. I hated it.

I was sitting in my suite one night after the show, and I looked out at the [Las Vegas] Strip and saw the huge neon billboard with my name on it, spelled out in those giant letters they use. Then I looked across the street at Caesars Palace and saw Frank Sinatra's name, in the same giant letters. And I said to myself, 'Face it, Anne; you're in the business.'

You know what? When someone does that for me, it makes me feel really good. It's like you're important.
