Quote

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.

Do you know where you going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.

My children come first and the career comes in around that.

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.

I'm crazy about Diane Von Furstenberg. It's a relationship that's very different I don't see Diane a lot. So when I saw the article in New York magazine she looked so beautiful and it was talking about her work, too. She set up the interview and it was happening. That's different than someone writing a book about you who you've never met.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.
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.

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.

I can be a better me than anyone can.
