I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

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.

I don't think getting in and out of a limousine has anything to do with being an icon.

Do you know where you going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don't want possessions to hold me down.

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

I'm really lucky, I have my performing career so I can continue to do personal appearances. Most actors have to do a film. But I thought I would wait until I found something I really liked.A lot of my friends feel that I'm wrong to wait. They say I should have done My Bodyguard, but I don't think so. I think I've been right.
