I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

Either black people end up being the best in sports, or else it's show business. You know, we all got rhythm.

I spend too much money on my sets and my gowns. I think the presentation is important. I don't think people want to see the old show all the time.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.

Icon. What is an icon? When someone is iconic it means they have established a certain kind of legacy possibly, and I think it does come with time. It's something in the arts, I feel. Maybe not, maybe it doesn't have to be in the arts exactly. I'm not really sure. But I don't think you are born an icon.
