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

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.

People can take your name and write a book about you and they make money off of it. How is the public supposed to know you're not authorizing that book? As soon as you make a big stink about it it only makes the book sell more.

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?

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?"

With the Supremes I made so much money so fast all I wanted to do was buy clothes and pretty things. Now I'm comfortable with money and it's comfortable with me.

You can have a lot of New York and still see what's going on in the rest of the world, I think - like in China.
