When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

My name is not Susan, so watch what you say. If you still need her, then be on your way.
Whitney Houston

I know that I could really kill for my daughter. I know because I'm living for her, so I'm fierce when it comes down to it. And I feel the same about my husband and my family. I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.

I'm the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something's going down, I won't eat. Some people eat, I don't eat. And it shows in my physical frame.

When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.
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've got some good saints out there - that's right - that pray for me constantly. You've gotta have that! You do.

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
Image
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.

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 have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.

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.
