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

One thing you cannot control is nature.

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.

I don't care about vacations. I go away and I come back real quick because I like my work. I really like my work to consume me.

Either black people end up being the best in sports, or else it's show business. You know, we all got rhythm.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.
