More quotes by Whitney Houston
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
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 a person who has life and wants to live, and always have.
Whitney Houston
I think over the years, being a mother, I've matured in so many ways.
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
If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe.
Whitney Houston
There can be miracles when you believe.

Whitney Houston
Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
Whitney Houston
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
Whitney Houston
I broke my heart for every gain, to taste the sweet I faced the pain.
Whitney Houston
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
Whitney Houston
Growing around great musicians, you just can't help it. I identified with it immediately. It was something that was so natural to me that when I started singing, it was almost like speaking.
Whitney Houston
You don't have a baby based on that publicity madness. People don't live like that. Especially black people who were raised in families with morals and standards and integrity.
Whitney Houston
To learn your artistry and to be able to perfect that, is overwhelming. Especially when you are exuding love. The human emotion is a very delicate thing, so you have to be careful about how you present it because it can be kind of scary, or too overwhelming if you're not careful. So I try to just keep it love.
Whitney Houston
I can tell you that I am not self-destructive. I'm not a person who wants to die. I'm a person who has life, who wants to live. And I always have. And I wouldn't mistake it for anything else other than that.
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
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
I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.
Whitney Houston
