Quote

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.

More quotes by 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 have a lust for life.
Diana Ross
Image
I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
Diana Ross
Image
I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.
Diana Ross
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

You can always tell where Diana Ross has been by the hair that's left behind!

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.
Diana Ross
Image
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.

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

Image
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
Image
Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they'd probably say yes, she's great, but.
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.
Diana Ross
Image
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
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.
Diana Ross
Image
Hair has always been important.
Diana Ross
Image
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.
