I Have A Lust For Life.

My Father Worked Hard, But We Were Still Very Poor; And I Didn't Want Anybody Arguing About Money, So I Became The Entertainer, The One Who Wanted Everyone To Be Happy. I Didn't Want There To Be Any Problems.

It Takes A Long Time To Get To Be A Diva. I Mean, You Gotta Work At It.

My Name, Diana Ross, Is My Name And Nobody Should Be Able To Use That For Exploitative Purposes But Me.

I've Never Been Damaged Or Hurt By Press. It's Just That I Think It's Unfair To Use Your Name In Media.

So I'm Not Worried About The Emotions I Carry With Me, Because I'm Happy That I Have Them; I Think It's Good For The Work I Do. The Emotions That Are Not Healthy Are The Ones You Hold Inside, Like Anger.
