More quotes by Mary J. Blige
Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.
Mary J. Blige
There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.
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
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
Believe in yourself when nobody else does.
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 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
Cause I'm no better than you, you, or you. And I can't get on no throne and preach, 'cause I'm not God.
Mary J. Blige
It's OK showing yourself some love.
Mary J. Blige
I'm a child of God. God is my mommy, my daddy. That's the only thing that'll keep my head up. If I don't remember who I am in him, I'm done.
Mary J. Blige
I felt ashamed about everything. Me dropping out of high school, me not, you know, just not being beautiful enough. I just didn't feel like I was smart enough or beautiful enough, you know, for years.
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
When I`m going to do a Christmas album I had to put my mind in Christmas mode. I had to go back to being a child and remembering all of that. When I go to do a project, I'm serious about it, so I wrap my world around it, and it becomes Christmastime for me and I'm singing songs like it's Christmas day.
Mary J. Blige
I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.
Mary J. Blige
Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.
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
You know a lot, but you don't know everything.
Mary J. Blige
I'm searching for a real love.
Mary J. Blige
It hurts when you have to smile and you don't want to smile, but the best thing to do is to smile.
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
