More quotes by Diana Ross
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
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
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
My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.
Diana Ross
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
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
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
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
You can always tell where Diana Ross has been by the hair that's left behind!
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
My children come first and the career comes in around that.
Diana Ross
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.
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 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
It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.
Diana Ross
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
Diana Ross
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 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
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
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
