“You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.”

I jog and I roller-skate. I dance – that’s the best exercise.

I try to choose the songs that really are basically coming from my heart. I think that through the songs that I select, people know what’s going on in my life.

I don’t think getting in and out of a limousine has anything to do with being an icon.

Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they’d probably say yes, she’s great, but.

I’d traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.

I listen to most everything that’s out there because I need to stay aware of what’s happening in the industry.

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 even thought of adopting a child as a single mother.

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

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.

I really, deeply believe that dreams do come true. Often, they might not come when you want them. They come in their own time.

I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don’t want possessions to hold me down.

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

Being a parent is very important to me.

I want to live in Paris for a couple of years. I’m dying to do the Josephine Baker story. I really want to be there and do it. It’s certainly my intention to do it.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I’ve had in my career.

The game of science is, in principle, without end.

Wish them the very best and let them walk away.

I have emptied myself of a heavy burden today lifted it out of my body and placed it down its not the end but it’s a beginning.

There is beauty in endings, for they are simply our new beginnings.

Trick me into believing that the world is ending learned things aren’t breaking they’re simply bending now, I can finally do some mending.

And sometimes places can be hard to say goodbye too than people.

And what am I supposed to do with all this residue?

Whether this ends in a moment or forever, I will carry you always.
