I've never been damaged or hurt by press. It's just that I think it's unfair to use your name in media.

I keep a great organiser, I try to keep my priorities in the right place.

My name, Diana Ross, is my name and nobody should be able to use that for exploitative purposes but me.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

It seems like I don't have a lot of time for all the things I need to do. I'm spreading myself fairly thin. I have responsibilities to my children. I have a big staff that works for me. And when you have a staff, and I'm sure you know this, you're always concerned with everybody's life all the time.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer and I learned costume illustration in high school. That was an incredible high school. It was more like a college. I'm moving more in that direction, just kind of merchandising my name.

A reporter once asked me if I ever cried. I wonder if people think I'm just as hard as a rock and have no emotions at all.
