More quotes by Whitney Houston
I've always been a thin girl. I'm not going to be fat, ever. Let's get that straight. Whitney is not going to be fat, ever. Okay?
Whitney Houston
I don't like it when they [media critics] see me as this little person who doesn't know what to do with herself -- like I have no idea what I want, like I'm just a puppet ... That's demeaning to me, because that ain't how it is, and it never was.
Whitney Houston
I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.
Whitney Houston
Being around people like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack, all these greats, I was taught to listen and observe.
Whitney Houston
When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That's what I wanted to do.
Whitney Houston
I'm not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn't do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don't have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on.
Whitney Houston
Sometimes you do have a good time. But when it gets to the point where you're sitting in your home and you're just trying to cover what you don't want people to know. It's painful. And then you want more just so that you don't let anybody see you cry. Or anybody to see we're not happy.
Whitney Houston
My mother sang with me in her stomach I sang with Bobbi Kris in my stomach. I believe the child starts to develop within, and whatever you read, whatever you think, whatever you do affects the child.
Whitney Houston
I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.
Whitney Houston
You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness it makes it worthwhile.
Whitney Houston
I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
Whitney Houston
I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.
Whitney Houston
I love to sing, but it's just not fun anymore.
Whitney Houston
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
Whitney Houston
She's my teacher, my adviser, my greatest inspiration.
Whitney Houston
Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
Whitney Houston
I'm proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We're all God's children.
Whitney Houston
My daughter is my greatest inspiration.
Whitney Houston
Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love all
Whitney Houston
I'm tired of people taking off their clothes.
Whitney Houston
