Diana Ross's Quotes
- A reporter once asked me if I ever cried. I wonder if people think I'm just as hard as a rock and have no emotions at all.
- People don't know about the human part of me that really cares about the world. For instance, I don't know what I feel about wearing my furs anymore. I worked so hard to have a fur coat and I don't want to wear it anymore because I'm so wrapped up in the animals. I have real deep thoughts about it because I care about the world and nature.
- 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.
- 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.
- In my life I want to keep moving forward, but sometimes reflection is a good thing.
