More quotes by Anita Baker
As soon as you get off stage, that's the most dangerous time for a singer to kiss people because your vocal chords are receptive to any kind of germ.
Anita Baker
Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.
Anita Baker
I'm used to getting up at 7, getting breakfast, getting the kids off to school, and doing the mommy thing and the wife thing and the daughter thing.
Anita Baker
I don't even have voice mail, and people get all out of shape about that. But, you know what, I don't want to transcribe your message I want to talk to you. And that kind of freaks people out a bit. They go, 'Oh, who has time to talk?' and I'm like, 'Well, I'm gonna make time.
Anita Baker
If you have your own agenda and your own style and you don't easily conform to what the masses are doing, you're looked upon as being difficult. Whereas, I think of it as just being an individual.
Anita Baker
I have as many pictures of my vocal cords as I do of my children. I have a great ear, nose and throat doctor, and we look at them - if there's some redness, maybe I'll take a little time off.
Anita Baker
I'd love to be the political voice of my generation, but that's not my gift.
Anita Baker
I'm picking and choosing in terms of the stress factor. If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.
Anita Baker
It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.
Anita Baker
I'm in love, sweet love. Feel me calling out your name, I feel no shame.
Anita Baker
I think there's no sacrifice too great for family, whether it's career, singing, whatever.
Anita Baker
When you're away for a long time, tastes change, fans move on. You hate to think about it, but it's an ugly fact of life.
Anita Baker
Long tresses down to the floor can be beautiful, but learn to love what you have.
Anita Baker
If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV.
Anita Baker
I dont think being black has held me back at all. Being black makes you strong.
Anita Baker
I say if it's going to be done, let's do it. Let's not put it in the hands of fate. Let's not put it in the hands of someone who doesn't know me. I know me best. Then take a breath and go ahead.
Anita Baker
I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
Anita Baker
I need my career. That's what validates me.
Anita Baker
I would say that my peak was making my first million at the ripe age of 29, after the first album.
Anita Baker
Historically, in my generation, all of my heroes and heroines have had issues and problems. We all do.
