I want to go Africa. I want to go to China. There are some places I want to go not to work, but to really explore and to see for my own education.

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

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

They tell me that it will be hard to find a man strong enough to love my own strength and independence, and not worry about being Mr. Diana Ross, but I disagree. I know absolutely that that man is somewhere out there.

So every time I make a new circuit, a new time around, then I change the show. You can't change the songs; people still want to hear "Lady Sings the Blues" and they still want to hear some of the oldies.

I even thought of adopting a child as a single mother.

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