More quotes by Chaka Khan
If I love a song, I make it mine.
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
There is no perfect love - that's something I'm very realistic about.
Chaka Khan
I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.
Chaka Khan
But me and my sister knew all the Doris Day and Frank Sinatra songs, too.
Chaka Khan
I want to give some positive messages and to empower some people.
Chaka Khan
Painted faces, sun burnt skin, fixed expressions, smiles worn thin.
Chaka Khan
My philosophy is familiarity breeds contempt.
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
Well. I'm probably not loving myself like I should, but I'm really trying.
Chaka Khan
There are a lot of people I would have liked to have collaborated with, and would still like to.
Chaka Khan
I was born and raised in the University of Chicago area and had an uneventful middle-class Catholic childhood. I had a heavy Catholic upbringing and Catholicism is terrible - it's the reason there were slaves. Mass every morning at seven o'clock during Lent. It's a totally negative, man-made religion.
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'm an extremely determined person. I'm very serious about what I do.
Chaka Khan
Walking through this life really is walking through fire.
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
Every personal experience of my life impacts my music.
Chaka Khan
I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.
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
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
