More quotes by Whitney Houston
I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
Whitney Houston
I've always been a thin girl. I'm not going to be fat, ever. Let's get that straight. Whitney is not going to be fat, ever. Okay?
Whitney Houston
Loneliness comes with life.
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 turned down a lot of arena dates because I've done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them.
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
I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.
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
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
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
I think over the years, being a mother, I've matured in so many ways.
Whitney Houston
I love to sing, but it's just not fun anymore.
Whitney Houston
If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe.
Whitney Houston
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
Whitney Houston
My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
Whitney Houston
God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
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
When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.
Whitney Houston
There can be miracles when you believe.
Whitney Houston
I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
Whitney Houston
