"What's black? I've been trying to figure this out since I've been in the business. I don't know how to sing black-and I don't know how to sing white, either. I know how to sing. Music is not a color to me. It's an art."

 (Whitney Elizabeth Houston, cantautrice, attrice, modella e produttrice discografica; Newark, 9 agosto 1963 – Beverly Hills, 11 febbraio 2012)
