I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.

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.

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.

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.

I look forward to the future - and going into the studio to make new music.

If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever Where clouds roll by For you and I
Diana Ross

I really, deeply believe that dreams do come true. Often, they might not come when you want them. They come in their own time.

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 listen to most everything that's out there because I need to stay aware of what's happening in the industry.

Image
If I do an interview, then I take full responsibility. I figure I'm not going to talk to anyone that I think is unethical anyway.

Image
I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.
Diana Ross
Image
Icon. What is an icon? When someone is iconic it means they have established a certain kind of legacy possibly, and I think it does come with time. It's something in the arts, I feel. Maybe not, maybe it doesn't have to be in the arts exactly. I'm not really sure. But I don't think you are born an icon.

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.

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.

All of a sudden I feel more womanly, I feel like I got a figure. I was always really straight up and down, the skinny one in the middle, like that poster at Elaine's of the Supremes at Lincoln Center - it was done by Joe Eula. To me that's really a reflection of the way I was. I was just like a bean pole. Now I'm getting a few curves and I like it.

I don't judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they're a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.
Diana Ross
Image
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
Diana Ross
Image
I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.
Diana Ross
Image
I have a lust for life.
