Quotes by Berry Gordy

"Today's business climate is not for me."

Berry Gordy

"Motown was about music for all people - white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone."

Berry Gordy

"I've discovered that Motown and Broadway have a lot in common - a family of wonderfully talented, passionate, hardworking young people, fiercely competitive but also full of love and appreciation for the work, for each other and for the people in the audience."
