Whitney Houston

I don't like to talk about my personal life. It's private.

I'm a very spiritual person. I believe in God.

I've always been a fighter. I've always stood up for myself.

I'm not a drug addict. I'm a recovering addict.

I've always been honest with my fans. I've always told them the truth.

I don't regret anything. I've lived my life the way I wanted to.

I'm a very emotional person. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I've always been a perfectionist. I like things to be just right.

I'm a very independent woman. I don't need a man to take care of me.

I've always believed in myself. I've always had confidence.

I'm not going to let anybody tell me what I can and cannot do.

I just want to make music. That's all I want to do.

I'm a very private person. I don't like to be in the public eye.

I've always been a survivor. I've always come out on top.

I'm not going to let anybody bring me down. I'm going to keep fighting.

I just want to be happy. I want to be at peace.

I've always been a trailblazer. I've always marched to the beat of my own drum.

I refuse to be a stereotype. I refuse to be a victim. I refuse to be a diva. I am a woman. I am a singer. I am a mother. I am a friend. I am a lover. I am a fighter. I am a survivor.

I'm not a crackhead. I'm not a drug addict. I'm not a user. I am a survivor. I am a fighter. I am a woman. I am a mother. I am a singer. I am a friend. I am a lover. I am a survivor.

I'm not a perfect person. I've made mistakes. I've had my ups and downs. I've had my good times and my bad times. But I've always come back stronger.
