"If you're not invited to the party, throw your own."
"For each and every performance, I was always on time, always prepared, and always, always coiffed and dressed."
“You cannot be a legitimate nightclub performer, as far as I’m concerned, in sensible shoes. To me, high heels have always been symbols of sensuality... I like the way I feel in them. And when you become a senior citizen, there’s great pleasure to be had in the fact that even when the tummy isn’t as taut as it used to be, the legs are still shapely and slender. They really are the last things to go, you know.”
"I like to think I opened doors for other women, although that wasn't my original intention."
"All I ever wanted to do was sing. What happened was more."
RIP, Diahann Carroll (born Carol Diahann Johnson, 17th July 1935 – 4th October 2019)
