I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

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

My children come first and the career comes in around that.

I am in prayer for his kids and the family.

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

I can be a better me than anyone can.

I'm really lucky, I have my performing career so I can continue to do personal appearances. Most actors have to do a film. But I thought I would wait until I found something I really liked.A lot of my friends feel that I'm wrong to wait. They say I should have done My Bodyguard, but I don't think so. I think I've been right.
