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
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 have a lust for life.
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.

It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park.

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.

It seems like I don't have a lot of time for all the things I need to do. I'm spreading myself fairly thin. I have responsibilities to my children. I have a big staff that works for me. And when you have a staff, and I'm sure you know this, you're always concerned with everybody's life all the time.

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 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
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
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.
Diana Ross
Image
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.

I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.

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

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
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.
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.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.
