More quotes by 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.
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
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
I'm a singer who thinks like a rapper.
Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige
I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking past the mirror.
Mary J. Blige
I do consider myself part of black history.
Mary J. Blige
It's that first step-getting out the door-that's the toughest. If you can do that, you've already won.
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
From being a little girl in the projects, going through all of the mess that I was going through, to ending up at the Inauguration for the first African-American president, I'm speechless right now because I never thought I'd - I never ever - I couldn't even see that far. Even when I ended up in the music business I couldn't see that.
Mary J. Blige
I used to think I was ugly. I thought I looked like a camel. A person who doesn't love themselves, they will see anything that pops up on their face. I've seen squirrels, I've seen a bird, and I've seen all kinds of animals on my face. But that is the result of self-hate. I've learned to say: 'You know what? I am a beautiful black woman'.
Mary J. Blige
The important thing is to realize that no matter what people's opinions may be, they're only just that - people's opinions. You have to believe in your heart what you know to be true about yourself. And let that be that.
Mary J. Blige
Then my life crashed and burned down: trials, men, drama, no self-love, no identity. A little identity, but not a lot of love for myself, my life.
Mary J. Blige
When I was five years old I was molested and just, you know. I remember feeling, literally right before it happened, I just could not believe that this person was going to do this to me. That thing followed me all my life. The shame of thinking my molestation was my fault - it led me to believe I wasn't worth anything.
Mary J. Blige
There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.
Mary J. Blige
I'm hoping that my entrepreneurial side will have me at a place where I don't have to do anything. That's what I'm striving for.
Mary J. Blige
In your life there's peaks and valleys and sometimes we regress, and we don't even know we regress. You just have to learn how to accept all of your mistakes and learn to love yourself again.
Mary J. Blige
I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.
Mary J. Blige
No one compares to you. Just remember that. There's no one out there - there's only one of you, and that's it. And whatever you believe about you that's great, no one else has it. And I can't look like you, there's no way I can slip into your body and be you, and you can't slip into my body and be me. This is all we're gonna get.
Mary J. Blige
I didn't never have to go to a therapist. I just always put it in a song and you heard me.
Mary J. Blige
