"Get back to your microphone"
Larry King show 1991.
“It’s been written that Florence Ballard found the name, but i’m not so sure of that now”.
From the Barbara Walters interview, 2000, regarding the RTL tour. She is referring to Mary Wilson...
"She didn't have to pay for anything...all she needed to do was show up."
"Hey you, get me a glass of water"
To Mary: "Also, there's that beaver hat I lent you years ago. Can you return it?"
1. Next
2. So much left to do, so little time.
3. But it’s not about the people that leave Motown that’s important - but it’s about the people ou come back; and tonight everybody came back.
4. The biggest misconcept is that I’m a bitch
The slang above is deliberate

I like that one... the whole interview was great.
I've basically, in my heart, know that it
would be very hard for me to work with
her on stage
I can sit down and talk to her but do you
think it's gonna change her feelings, if she's been
harboring this for 30 years… or
more.
I think she's coming from a lot of pain
and a lot of times when you're unhappy
you have to find someplace to throw that
to you you you you know she's targeting
me and I see such unhappiness in her
coming out of her you know I don't know
that I can change that I don't know that
I could really change how she feels
inside I don't think there would be
anything that anybody could do to make
her happy
I'm not gonna defend that. I think
the audience knows that that's my voice
on all those songs and it had nothing to
do with my relationship with Barry. I
think he's a wonderful he gave me an
opportunity to shine
"it took me a lifetime to get there, I'm not going anywhere"
An encounter with Jon Bon Jovi.
“Cant you read you moron?. Now get the fuck out of my studio”.
***I hear the voice of love***
lol @ jobucats and Albator. My favourite line from that RTL 20/20 interview is...
"Well I think she's been working as Mary Wilson and The Supremes and she's been singing my songs! You know, it's not her voice! I've had the solo career for 30 years, I've been singing Supremes songs."
Followed by...
"From the beginning of the conversation, the first thing she said was, 'What took you so long to call?' and I'm saying it sort of nicer than she did."
lol
“Run Toto Run ! “
Chris Evans Breakfast Show 1999
Whitney Houston, i’d like to slap her in the face.
Motown 25 1983.
“The girls will be happy with just the medley”.
Two well respected former Supremes made to feel like accessories.
Diana Ross' NYC Central Park Concert quote:
"It's taken me a lifetime to get here, I'm not going anywhere."
Her quote is comparable to the epic quote by the prolific Duke Ellington:
"No matter what accolade anyone may give me, I think more of myself."
An example of Diana Ross' quote, "Think positive, constantly."
“These people are no longer in my employment”.
Diana making libellous accusations against innocent staff members.
This one from UK, 1991, is relevant, especially here
"to me it's always a pecking order
sometimes you like to feel bigger about
yourself by putting somebody else down
and i think that's just a nature and a
natural thing that people do"
I rather thought the thread about Diana quotes we personally find the most memorable. If there was a theme i apologize for straying.

"It's MISS ROSS to you!!!"
And that one, about Diana :
"I love Diana, I'm a Diana junkie.
She is the boss of her life I think that's the message she's giving for many years.
It's not that she's the boss of you, she's the boss of herself and that's what it's all about."
Donna Summer
”Its been thirty fucking years”
Performing “Best Years” at the Ahoy Stadium.
Thanks Albator!
“You know, sometimes we sit back and wait for our leaders to save us, but the truth is, we’re the saviors. We have to do the work through unity, through being together…” — from “An All-Star Celebration Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.,” January 1986
“She was just one of those people you want to grab, shake and yell get your fucking life together”.
