I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am.

We've all been influenced by other people...If Minnie Riperton never existed, would I have even thought of singing in that (upper) register? I doubt it.

I love Frosty the Snowman. My family and I like to go on a sleigh ride with a two-horse sleigh in Aspen, so we all scream different songs at the top of our lungs. I hope it doesn't scare the horses.

If you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don't let go! You can make it, make it happen
Mariah Carey

I can make it through the rain, I can stand up once again, on my own, and I know, that I'm strong enough to mend, and every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith, and I live one more day and I make it through the rain.

Nothing that's ever happened has taken away the optimist in me. It's always, Whatever-let's go to Disneyland. Yes, I have my bleak, tortured-artist moments, but you have to hold on to what's positive.

To quote Frank Sinatra, Regrets, I've had a few / But then again, too few to mention.
Mariah Carey

I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.
Mariah Carey

I started writing poetry when I was six. I had this teacher who didn't believe the poems I'd bring in were mine because they were dark and sad. But I wrote about what I experienced in my childhood.
Mariah Carey
Image
I prayed very hard for this to happen and it happened. I don't even think about what I've achieved, I haven't focused on it and I wish I had, because I really want to enjoy it, and I don't know if I am enjoying it, because I am going through my life like a bulldozer. I still haven't marveled at it.

Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston. My heartfelt condolences to Whitney's family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.

I look around and see the things I have, and I remember not having them. That is one thing that keeps me grounded. I'm definitely the same person I was. . . . I never lose me, I never lose the real person.

If two people want to get married, it’s their prerogative - we hope. Everybody should be able to do what they want to do and be in the pursuit of happiness.
Mariah Carey

She smiles through a thousand tears, and harbors adolescent fears. She dreams of all that she can never be, she wades in insecurity.
Mariah Carey

I love all holiday music. My two favorites would probably be Donny Hathaway's This Christmas and Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. They epitomize Christmas for me. Those two recordings will never be touched. That's why I've never redone them.
Mariah Carey
Image
Standing alone,eager to just believe,it's good enough to be what you really are,but in your heart,uncertainty forever lies,and you'll always be,somewhere on the outside.

I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that's changed.
