I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.

More quotes by Diana Ross
It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.
Diana Ross
I'm really lucky, I have my performing career so I can continue to do personal appearances. Most actors have to do a film. But I thought I would wait until I found something I really liked.A lot of my friends feel that I'm wrong to wait. They say I should have done My Bodyguard, but I don't think so. I think I've been right.
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.
Diana Ross
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
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
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
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.
Diana Ross
I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.
Diana Ross
My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.
Diana Ross
You can always tell where Diana Ross has been by the hair that's left behind!
Diana Ross
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.
Diana Ross
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
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.
Diana Ross
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.
Diana Ross
Hair has always been important.
Diana Ross
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
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.
Diana Ross
I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.
Diana Ross
My problem is that people have been writing books about me.A lot of things that people write about you are incorrect, but you don't fight about it.
Diana Ross
Being a parent is very important to me.
Diana Ross
