More quotes by Whitney Houston
I'm an old-fashioned girl. And I love gospel. I like things that lift me up, inspire me.
Whitney Houston
Nobody makes me do anything I don't want to do. It's my decision. So the biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy.
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
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
Sometimes you'll laugh. Sometimes you'll cry. Life never tells us, the when's or why's. When you've got friends, to wish you well. You'll find your point when. You will exhale.
Whitney Houston
I've never felt like this in any other country. I feel at home, I feel wonderful
Whitney Houston
God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
Whitney Houston
From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.
Whitney Houston
What's in your soul is in your soul.
Whitney Houston
In grammar school some of the girls had problems with me. My face was too light. My hair was too long. It was the black-consciousness period, and I felt really bad.
Whitney Houston
Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is whack.
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
I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.
Whitney Houston
She's my teacher, my adviser, my greatest inspiration.
Whitney Houston
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
Whitney Houston
I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.
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
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 wish to you, joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love
Whitney Houston
You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can't fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you've got to be straight up with you.
Whitney Houston
