Quote

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.

One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.

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.

I'm experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it's appropriate I do it on the record.

I'm not for the villains, I'm only for the princesses. I mean it's fun to have Jafar [Aladdin cartoon villain] or whatever I didn't even remember their names 'cause they're not important to me.

I'm far from perfect. I'm still learning. I overworked myself, and I paid the price. I consider the breakdown a breakthrough. I needed to hit rock bottom. I needed to understand the cost of pushing so hard fighting so hard against the system.

No stress, no fights. I'm leaving it all behind. No tears, no time to cry. Just making the most of life.

My father identified as a black man. No one asked him because he was clearly black. But people always ask me. If we were together, people would look at us in a really strange way. It sucked. As a little girl I had blond hair and they'd look at me, look at him, and be disgusted.

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.

I still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever's on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.

If you look inside yourself, and you believe, you can be your own hero.
Mariah Carey

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.

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.
