Whitney Houston — "I’m not a saint, but I’m not a sinner either."

"I'm a very successful woman. I've achieved a lot in my life. I've won a lot of awards. I've sold a lot of records. I've performed for a lot of people. I've made a lot of money."

"I know that I'm a good person. I know that I'm a good mother. I know that I'm a good friend. I know that I'm a good wife. I know that I'm a good daughter. I know that I'm a good human being."

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

"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 a very creative person. I like to express myself through my music."
