"Mama" Cass Elliot

Honesty is all you need.
Cass Elliot

How do I tell people who I am? Not being a writer, the only way is to sing songs that reflect my opinions.
Cass Elliot

I was just a bumpkin. Just a country bumpkin. I had just come to New York from Virginia. Or was it Baltimore?
Cass Elliot

I've always been so apathetic. I figured, OK, maybe the world is going to fall down around me. Now I want to make a better world... that's motherhood.
Cass Elliot

If you really think you're right, you should tell it.
Cass Elliot

If you truly dig what you are doing, if you lay it out that way, nobody can not respond. That's what rock and roll is; it's relentless.
Cass Elliot

My role in the Mamas and Papas was basically just to sing.
Cass Elliot

There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.
Cass Elliot

They're paying me an outrageous sum of money; $40,000 a week, which is totally silly.
Cass Elliot

When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when they present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.
