More quotes by 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.

It's challenging to find an identity as a young person if you don't have the sustenance of love, because you're being shipped around.
Mary J. Blige
If you're here right now in your life, your journey continues and you've lived to tell the story.
Mary J. Blige
You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.
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
Believe in yourself when nobody else does.

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
I care about me now. When I didn't care about me, I was, like, 'Why is this going wrong? Why is my life so bad?' But when you don't care about yourself, nobody else is going to care about you. So I learned to love myself, even if nobody else does.
Mary J. Blige
The music business is not a good place for people who don't know things.
Mary J. Blige
I like hanging out with me, and I've accepted everything about me good, bad whatever it is. That's why I'm able to, that's why no one can tell me anything negative about myself.
Mary J. Blige
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
There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.
Mary J. Blige
It hurts a lot when you cannot really comprehend what a person is saying in a meeting, or you don't even understand what you're reading in your contract.
Mary J. Blige
I can tell you I didn't feel good when I could not articulate properly. Getting my GED was important and I want other women to feel that.
Mary J. Blige
My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.
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
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
This music business can suck all the love out of you, all the compassion for people - you can start to think you're better than them. But I want to continue to let people know that I'm no better and no worse, I'm just like you.
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.
