Whitney Houston's quotes
- I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.
- I've got a good man. He takes care of me. I don't have to be scared of anything because I know he will kick every ass... disrespect him and you've got a problem.
- God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
- I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.
- [on the death of Michael Jackson] I am full of grief.
- First of all, let's get one thing straight. Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack, let's get that straight, okay? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is whack.
- What's black? I've been trying to figure this out since I've been in the business. I don't know how to sing black-and I don't know how to sing white, either. I know how to sing. Music is not a color to me. It's an art.
