More quotes by 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
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
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'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
I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
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
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'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.
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
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
Being a parent is very important to me.
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
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?
Diana Ross
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.
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
I look forward to the future - and going into the studio to make new music.
Diana Ross
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 was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
Diana Ross
Hair has always been important.
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.
