"The Best"

Just last month, The Guardian newspaper asked Tina Turner to respond to a series of questions they regularly put to notable newsmakers and celebrities.  Here’s what she had to say.

Q:  What’s your earliest memory?

A:  Playing on my favorite tree.  I was a tomboy and I’d always be tearing my clothes, messing up my hair.

Q:  What is your most unappealing habit?

A: Watching horror movies back to back.

Q:  What do you most dislike about your appearance?

A:  Nothing.  Women are forced to look far too closely and be critical of their appearance.  Men don’t.

Q:  What would your superpower be?

A:  Maybe all those solo concerts I did in 6” heels!

Q:  Who is your celebrity crush?

A:  I always had a crush on Mick Jagger.  I loved when we toured with the Rolling Stones.

Q:  Describe yourself in three words.

A:  Honest, feisty, and fun.

Q:  What scares you about getting older?

A:  Nothing.  This is life’s full adventure, and I embrace and accept every day with what it brings.

Q:  How would you like to be remembered?

A:  As the Queen of Rock’n’Roll.  As a woman who showed other women that it is okay to strive for success on their own terms.
