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
It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.
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
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'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
It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park.
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'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
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
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
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
I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.
Diana Ross
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.
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
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
I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
Diana Ross
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
I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
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
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
