Either Black People End Up

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.

What's Important For Me Is To Give My Daughters A Well-rounded Education And A Mixture Of People In Their Lives. They'll Make Their Own Choices. I Think They Would Be Good In Show Business.

Criticism, Even When You Try To Ignore It, Can Hurt. I Have Cried Over Many Articles Written About Me, But I Move On And I Don't Hold On To That.

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.

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