Whitney on herself: 'I'm a legend'

Whitney Houston emerges and proclaims: 'I'm a Legend', in People magazine


Whitney Houston, the megastar singer/actress/producer, confirms that she is a legend, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

"I knew that I was in this unique category and I had a million employees in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was a legend), they would think I'm arrogant" says Houston.

"I didn’t know: Could that be the end of other divas? So I had that weight on me of like, ‘Wow, if I ever confirm what everyone already knew.' So I just never did," she says speaking about her status for the first time with PEOPLE.

"The thing is, I’m not ashamed – that’s the one thing I want to say," she explains of her decision to speak out. "I don't think it's selfish or arrogant, I'm not going to feel sorry for the others. I'm more liberated and happy than I’ve been my whole life. I'm just happy."

As for why she's talking about this now Houston says, "The main reason I wanted to speak my mind was that it's not my fault that I'm bigger than life. Now it feels like it's on my terms. I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about. I'm a legend and the rest of the world knows it."

What is wrong with this woman, If she's such a legend and everyone knows it, why don't they buy her records anymore?

she is a legend.unfortunately,it's mainly for the slimy aspects of her public life.her legacy,like bobby brown's,is intrigueing for rises to fame and for natural disaster-like falls from grace and huge appetites for debauchery.their link to each other has insured that they will never ever be forgotten.i'm getting teary-eyed.

Just because she uses drugs does not automatically disqualify her from being a so called legend. Richard Pryor, JImi Hendrix, Billie Holiday and others had their fair share of Crack Pipe Blues. She is a Fuck Up, but who hasn't being at one time or another?
