More quotes by Mary J. Blige
When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.
Mary J. Blige
Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?
Mary J. Blige
Believe in yourself when nobody else does.
Mary J. Blige
Thank you so much for supporting me from the day I stepped foot into the music industry. It really means something to me to have Maya Angelou speak on my behalf. It also means a lot to have Oprah on my speed dial!
Mary J. Blige
I think women should band together to get us more respect in all the businesses that we're in because, you know, if we turn 40, we're nothing and nobody. We all should band together and just say we're not gonna go down like that.
Mary J. Blige
Nowadays, with the state of the music business, for any artist, whether you're up-and-coming or you've been in it for awhile, you have to explore different revenues and different ways of expressing yourself.

I don't want no drama in my life, even though we have a little bit, but no more letting people control you. That's drama, because then you become something that you're not.
Mary J. Blige
You know a lot, but you don't know everything.
Mary J. Blige
As a kid, I was in love with Michael Jackson, and I just knew I was going to marry him someday.
Mary J. Blige
In the inner city, there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.
Mary J. Blige
I like French fries I like mashed. I love potatoes.
Mary J. Blige
When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.
Mary J. Blige
God loves me and sent his son to die for me so I have to live to please him because he saved me when everyone abandoned me.
Mary J. Blige
I'm from the element of the streets that says that once you've made it, it's yours. But keep it to yourself.
Mary J. Blige
I'm a singer who thinks like a rapper.
Mary J. Blige
Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores.
Mary J. Blige
Really, every woman is an example to me, because as women we go through so much pain. We have to live this perfect life when we are messed up inside. We all go through trials and tribulations.
Mary J. Blige
I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.
Mary J. Blige
I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
Mary J. Blige
I started speaking about what I was dealing with through my music, and 4 million women responded and said, 'Us too, Mary.' And I didn't know that everyone was hurting like I was hurting. I had no idea.
Mary J. Blige
