I listen to most everything that's out there because I need to stay aware of what's happening in the industry.

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

I really, deeply believe that dreams do come true. Often, they might not come when you want them. They come in their own time.

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.

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.

I'm crazy about Diane Von Furstenberg. It's a relationship that's very different; I don't see Diane a lot. So when I saw the article in New York magazine she looked so beautiful and it was talking about her work, too. She set up the interview and it was happening. That's different than someone writing a book about you who you've never met.
