«I'm picking and choosing in terms of the stress factor. If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.»
Author: Anita Baker
(Singer)
«I say if it's going to be done, let's do it. Let's not put it in the hands of fate. Let's not put it in the hands of someone who doesn't know me. I know me best. Then take a breath and go ahead.»
«You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.»

«My mother only called when she wanted things. She doesn't know me, so how could she have a feeling for me? Still, I see her each time I pass a mirror. The resemblance shocks me. Someday I'll go back to make a new stab at a relationship, but not yet. Happily, her approval is no longer necessary. No one's is. I'm no longer driven to prove I'm worthy. That war is over, even if there are still days when I have to do battle.»

Had I done that, I'd be long gone by now. In this business, an African-American woman has to protect herself because precious few will.»

(Singer)
«I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.»
Author: Anita Baker
(Singer)
«Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me, particularly given my medical history.»
Author: Anita Baker
(Singer)
«At home I'm relaxed. I may be in the yard talking to neighbors, or riding my bike, or fishing, making up the bed-and things just come to me. I'll hum a melody, and if it feels real good, I'll play it on the piano and put it on tape, and then develop it later. The music speaks words to me.»
