America has a relationship with Bobby and Whitney.

[NEW YORK (CNN) -- Whitney Houston is trying to put an end to rumors that she and husband Bobby Brown are abusing drugs.] 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.

I still go to a salon where a gal does my hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a celebrity but by the time I leave there, we are eating chicken and talking and screaming.

You are a black goddess when you come out the salon.

If you can find something you love, go for it everyday of your life, and it would be really good to you.

But a true diva has dismissed that drama. A true diva's heart is open, and she's ready to play by her own rules - rules that are gentle and kind.
