So if diva means giving your ...

So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

I never wanted to go on stage...

I never wanted to go on stage alone because if you mess up, who can you blame?

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

In matters of the heart it is...

In matters of the heart it is always better to want something you don't have than to have something you don't want.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

I've never been with a woman,...

I've never been with a woman, so I guess I'm straight, OK? But I'm straight enough to know the difference between right and wrong. I am straight enough to know that if you want to marry whoever you want to marry, you should be able to marry whoever you want to marry

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

Peace of mind just can't be b...

Peace of mind just can't be bought. Trust me: Even if your conscience doesn't stop you from playing dirty to get what you want, once you get it, it will keep you from enjoying it. As my mother used to say, "A good conscience is God's eye." Which is why I always prefer a loss to an underhanded gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.

I always have to go that extra mile, and I do it and I don't mind doing it, but it isn't fair.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

Here's the thing about faith:...

Here's the thing about faith: It gives us the strength to go on when we want to give in. It gives us the courage to get up when we want to lie down. It gives us the power to make a way out of no way when there ain't no way. Just as love can't make you strong until love has made you weak, well, faith can't lift you up until life has knocked you down. With faith or without it, we can't stop the waves. But with it, we don't need to. Because with it we can ride the surf.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

God doesn't do the work for y...

God doesn't do the work for you; he does the work through you. It's not enough to look up; you must also look within.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

There's not much longevity in...

There's not much longevity in music today. It's so easy to go in, put some pretentious lyrics on, with people saying the same thing over and over and over.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

It's a sweet thing, faith. With it, you can handle any circumstance, any crisis, because you know God always has your back. And when God is for you, who can be against you? Nobody. As my Aunt Hattie says, "One and God are a majority."

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

That's another lesson I've learned the hard way. All relationships will die if they aren't nurtured. Just as a flower will die if it's not watered. Because love is demonstration, not declaration.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

Anger is like the blade of a butcher knife - very difficult to hold on to for long without harming yourself.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

I haven't stopped looking for the good in people. I've just accepted the fact that I'm not always going to find it.

Every exit is an entrance to someplace else.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

There is nothing more persona...

There is nothing more personal than your values. What you will and won't do to get ahead, the lines you will and won't cross to win, whom you will and won't step on for personal gain, are at the very core of your code of honor. And your code of honor determines your character. And your character is who you are. Behind closed doors. When nobody is watching.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

Whenever I go out, so many people who respect me ask me what to do in a certain situation. A lot of times, I didn't know the answers because sometimes I was going through the same sort of thing. But then later on, I would think of things that people told me.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle, they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

Real divas give 150 percent. ...

Real divas give 150 percent. If they don't have the right dress, they'll go out in whatever they have. If there are no microphones, they'll still put on a show. They are people who put their heart and soul in what they do.

Patti LaBelle 87 quotes

As Aunt Naomi was listing all the things she was going to do to help this person, her friend stopped her in mid-sentence. "Naomi, girl," she said, "you need to resign as general manager of the universe. You need to learn that sometimes the best way to help a person is to let them help themselves. Otherwise, they never learn how. And they are always going to make their problems your problems."
