Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.

My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.

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 keep a great organiser, I try to keep my priorities in the right place.

It's not fair that our name can be used in any newspaper, any article connected with anything, and we can't really fight about it. It's like any newspaper that might take a picture of you, bad or good, and sometimes they're awful pictures, and they can use them without your approval and you can't do anything about it.

I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.
