I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.

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

I lived on the north side of Detroit. Right down the street from me there was a young man by the name of Smokey Robinson. I was very proud to live down the street from him because he was our only celebrity in town. He was singing with the Miracles.

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

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.

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.
