Quote

I'm not really a songwriter - I'm an interpreter. So in a sense I am an actress first and foremost. I act out the songs, and I lead with my heart.

You can have a lot of New York and still see what's going on in the rest of the world, I think - like in China.
Diana Ross
Image
So every time I make a new circuit, a new time around, then I change the show. You can't change the songs people still want to hear Lady Sings the Blues and they still want to hear some of the oldies.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.
Diana Ross
Image
So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me, because I'm happy that I have them I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside, like anger.
Diana Ross
Image
I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.
Diana Ross
Image
I have a lust for life.
Diana Ross
Image
I really, deeply believe that dreams do come true. Often, they might not come when you want them. They come in their own time.
Diana Ross

It's not fair that our name can be used in any newspaper, any article connected with anything, and we can't really fight about it. It's like any newspaper that might take a picture of you, bad or good, and sometimes they're awful pictures, and they can use them without your approval and you can't do anything about it.

They tell me that it will be hard to find a man strong enough to love my own strength and independence, and not worry about being Mr. Diana Ross, but I disagree. I know absolutely that that man is somewhere out there.
Diana Ross
Image
I have three girls, and I say the same thing to them. I'm not involved in their careers because I've learned that it's important for them to stand on their own two feet. They'll feel better and prouder of themselves if they do.
Diana Ross
Image
I can be a better me than anyone can.
Diana Ross
Image
I want to go Africa. I want to go to China. There are some places I want to go not to work, but to really explore and to see for my own education.
Diana Ross
Image
All my gowns have trains on them. I make a train that goes on forever. I love long trains and then I stand there and twirl around and wrap myself up in it.
Diana Ross
Image
Take a little time out of your busy day to give encouragement to someone who's lost their way.
Diana Ross
Image
I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
Diana Ross
Image
With the Supremes I made so much money so fast all I wanted to do was buy clothes and pretty things. Now I'm comfortable with money and it's comfortable with me.
Diana Ross
Image
It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park.
Diana Ross
Image
It's easier for me to sit with the producers and the writers and I give them my feelings and my thoughts and what I think I feel like singing about and then they go away and write it.

People can take your name and write a book about you and they make money off of it. How is the public supposed to know you're not authorizing that book? As soon as you make a big stink about it it only makes the book sell more.
