No one intimidates me because I'm not trying to do what you do, because I can't do what you do. I can only do what Mary J. Blige can do, so that relaxes me right there, and it gets me out of the competition and that whole thing.

More quotes by Mary J. Blige
Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
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
My main exercise is cardio. The treadmill is fine, but running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6 to 8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio, I feel much, much better.
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
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
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 was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.
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
I wouldn't adopt, but what I will do is give my time and go and try to be there for people.
Mary J. Blige
Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.
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
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 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
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.
Mary J. Blige
I cannot save the world, that's not what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm just trying to walk the walk and be an example to those that want it. Not everybody does, but if Mary J Blige can come out of that same hole you were in, then you can do it too - that's my goal: to do that without saying it, but actually live it.
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
When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.
Mary J. Blige
Negative words are powerful boomerangs so be careful what you say about people and yourself.
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
It's up to us to choose whether we win or lose...and I choose to win.
