ADD QUOTES
- Whitney Houston: (on the release of her 7th album, "Just Whitney") This album for me is about surviving, raising a family, being a wife or girlfriend and all the challenges that go along with those things. These songs are more about creating a mood than about anything in particular.
  Edit Share Hide
- Whitney Houston: No, I'm not a drug addict, and neither is my husband. If that were so, you'd get a lot less work out of me. It would show in the performances and in the work.

- Whitney Houston: God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
