My Children Come First And The Career

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

I Don't Know What My Life Would Have Been Like If I'd Never Gotten Into Show Business.

My Name, Diana Ross, Is My Name And Nobody Should Be Able To Use That For Exploitative Purposes But Me.

You Can't Just Sit There And Wait For People To Give You That Golden Dream. You've Got To Get Out There And Make It Happen For Yourself.

The First Time I Heard A Billie Holiday Record, I Thought, 'what's So Great About Billie Holiday?'
