My mother taught me beauty really lives in places like a smile.
Whitney Houston
Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
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 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
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 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

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'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
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
I wish to you, joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love
Whitney Houston
I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.
Whitney Houston
My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.
Whitney Houston
I've never felt like this in any other country. I feel at home, I feel wonderful
Whitney Houston
No, I'm not a drug addict, and neither is my husband. If that were so, you'd get a lot less work out of me. It would show in the performances and in the work.
Whitney Houston
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
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.
Whitney Houston
