More quotes by Anita Baker

Anita Baker
Long tresses down to the floor can be beautiful, but learn to love what you have.
Anita Baker
Time has nothing to do with the gifts that the gods give you it's what you do.
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 think there's no sacrifice too great for family, whether it's career, singing, whatever.

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

Anita Baker
Chris Brown is brilliant. That cat is crazy brilliant, and I wish him the best.
Anita Baker

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
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
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 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 would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don't write to fill up the album with my songs.
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.
