I've read about myself and my husband and my family, to the point where they've called my parents, they've called my brothers, offering money to tell stories. They call friends of mine. I'd just like for them to just ... don't badger us. Don't scrutinize us. We have children and they have to live, too. It's not fair.
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'm a person who has life and wants to live, and always have.
Whitney Houston
I would stay in my room for days, for days at times, just trying to get it together, to know what my next phase was going to be.
Whitney Houston
If you say my eyes are beautiful, it's because they are looking at you.
Whitney Houston
I believe that children are our future

If I should die this very day, Don't cry...cause on Earth We wasn't meant to stay.
Whitney Houston
