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.

More quotes by 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
I've learned so much from all my mistakes. I just wish I had gotten my education.
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'm a singer who thinks like a rapper.
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
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
When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.
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 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
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
Believe in yourself when nobody else does.
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 wouldn't adopt, but what I will do is give my time and go and try to be there for people.
Mary J. Blige
It's OK showing yourself some love.
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 didn't never have to go to a therapist. I just always put it in a song and you heard me.
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 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
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
Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?
