It tickles me, my daughter said that to me. She said, "Mommie, why is it that every time they say your name they put your age right behind it?"

My father worked hard, but we were still very poor; and I didn't want anybody arguing about money, so I became the entertainer, the one who wanted everyone to be happy. I didn't want there to be any problems.

I even thought of adopting a child as a single mother.

Take a little time out of your busy day to give encouragement to someone who's lost their way.

Criticism, even when you try to ignore it, can hurt. I have cried over many articles written about me, but I move on and I don't hold on to that.

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

My problem is that people have been writing books about me.A lot of things that people write about you are incorrect, but you don't fight about it.
