More quotes by Chaka Khan
My mother was into opera and my father was into jazz, so there was a lot of jazz in the house where I grew up.
Chaka Khan
My philosophy is familiarity breeds contempt.
Chaka Khan
If I wanted to fight to make a better world racially, I wouldn't be in the music business. You dig, if I were going to be a freedom fighter music is the wrong field.
Chaka Khan
I won't become a household word, or achieve the fame I deserve in my lifetime because of the way I look.
Chaka Khan
But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.
Chaka Khan
I have some scars... lots of internal ones. But they're all scabbed over.
Chaka Khan
Your moment of clarity comes when you face your fears. Sobriety gave me back me - my life. Self-medication kills you slowly. You can never get a handle on that. It's a highly destructive force that has to be dealt with on a spiritual level as much as a physical one.
Chaka Khan
Painted faces, sun burnt skin, fixed expressions, smiles worn thin.
Chaka Khan
When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didnt go over a cliff.
Chaka Khan
If I love a song, I make it mine.
Chaka Khan
There is no perfect love - that's something I'm very realistic about.
Chaka Khan
I'm an extremely determined person. I'm very serious about what I do.
Chaka Khan
I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.
Chaka Khan
My mom took me to see Goldfinger. My mom took me to see To Sir, With Love.
Chaka Khan
The bickering and fighting and hating that women do with each other - it's going to kill us as a race of people.
Chaka Khan
Well. I'm probably not loving myself like I should, but I'm really trying.
Chaka Khan
If I pop everyone who calls me a diva then I'm going to spend the rest of my life in prison.
Chaka Khan
I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.
Chaka Khan
I control my life and I have never let success run away with me - I've taken it and ran. And the only thing that could threaten my stability is me - I'm my only threat and my own worst enemy. Beyond that, I don't feel successful. I'm nowhere near where I plan to be as far as my goals.
Chaka Khan
Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.
Chaka Khan
