Irene Cara Quotes

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 

Cara is not my real name, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Only because I do live in New York and enough people already know who my parents are.

Irene Cara 

I haven't had a vacation in years. I'd really like to sneak off and just run around on a beach for a while.

I was put into this business by my parents as soon as I could walk. I was groomed by them for this business. I didn't wake up at the early ages of 5 or 6 and say I want to be a star. 
Irene Cara 

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart. 
Irene Cara 

I'm a woman with a mission. I've learned to believe in myself, my vision and to do things the way I want them done. 
Irene Cara 

I've had my bubblegum years and I did them well. Now it's time to come back as the woman, artist, and musician that I am without apologizing. 
Irene Cara

Irene Cara

Irene Cara 

My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.

Irene Cara 

This has been a long and tiring battle for 10 years. And I'm glad it's finally resolved. My principles and reputation as a creative artist were involved here-it wasn't just about the royalties. I can now look foward to getting on with my career. 
Irene Cara 

We have a tendency in this country that when we say Black it automatically means Black Americans. But that's a big mistake, and that keeps us divided. There are Blacks all over this entire world-even in Africa. 
Irene Cara 

When I act, I act. When I sing, I sing. I don't put one over the other. Entertaining is what I do best. 
Irene Cara
