A diva is someone who is a perfectionist, who does her best in her craft.
Patti LaBelle

A diva is someone who pretends to know who she is and looks fabulous doing it.
Jenifer Lewis

Actually, I take it as a compliment. Diva is a derivative of divine. That's quite a title to carry around.
Calista Flockhart

All of a sudden, I was hearing stories about how difficult I was to work with, ridiculous rumors about drugs and what a diva I was. I never had to go to rehab or a program.
Irene Cara

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.
John Lone

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.
Jenifer Lewis

By the time I was five, I was a little diva.
Stevie Nicks

Diva has a negative connotation.
Glenn Close

I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.
Courtney Love

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.
Erykah Badu

I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I've had far more experiences.
Deborah Cox

I think the diva is kind of a cliche. My definition of a diva is somebody whose talent does not match what they're trying to play, so all this temperament comes out.
Glenn Close

I'm determined to be a diva.
Lexa Doig

I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog.
Toni Braxton

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.
Siobhan Fahey

I'm totally Italian, but I'm not a diva. If you could see the way I'm dressed in daily life, that's not a diva. Appearances are so not important to me.
Patti LuPone

I've learned to try to sustain myself by holding on to the integrity of who I am. I'm not talking big diva. I'm quiet. I'm shy. And I became stronger when I stopped trying to be the person they wanted me to be.
Crystal Waters

It's a shame to call somebody a 'diva' simply because they work harder than everybody else.
Jennifer Lopez

So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.
Patti LaBelle

Sometimes I think it's better to be a diva.
