As far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.
Mary J. Blige
Life is full of trials and tribulations. It's dramatic when you don't treat people right when you're in the tribulations, but I know now how to get out of it. You have to make a decision to say 'No more', and then you know what to do when the trials happen.
Mary J. Blige
As a child I always wanted to be a singer. The music my mother played in the house moved me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It was truly spiritual. It made you understand what God was. We are all spirits. We get depressed. But music makes you want to live. I know my music has saved my life.
Mary J. Blige
It was only for two years, and I jumped from family to family. It's very scary.

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
If you're looking for inner peace from the outside world, you're not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside. Understanding that everything that comes to you is what you are. Everything from friends to boyfriends to the job you get - it's all a direct reflection of what you are on the inside.
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
People in my neighborhood inspired me to sing. Believe in your ability no matter what, but be realistic with yourself and your ability.
Mary J. Blige
I still get nervous about singing. I drink tea with honey and lemon before every concert. And I need to have scented candles in all of my hotel rooms.
Mary J. Blige
I do consider myself part of black history.
Mary J. Blige
Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
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
You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect.
Mary J. Blige
I like to do interior design, I love to quilt, I love to see different colors together, and I love to match things up.
Mary J. Blige
I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.
Mary J. Blige
I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them.
Mary J. Blige
When you're going to do whatever you're going to do, you have to get your, put your mind into it.
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.
