As a kid, I was in love with Michael Jackson, and I just knew I was going to marry him someday.
Mary J. Blige
Image
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.

Image
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.

So as long as I'm a human being and I'm not perfect, I'm able to say I'm having some growing pains. Because in order to sustain where you are once you made such a breakthrough that everyone is looking at you, now everyone is like, 'Ooh, is she gonna make a mistake?' Yes, I'm going to make a mistake. Yes, I'm still gonna do things.

Mary J. Blige
Image
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.

I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.
Mary J. Blige
Image
When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.

Image
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
Image
I do consider myself part of black history.

There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.

I'm striving toward this acting thing. I'm definitely gonna work hard on that, whatever comes my way, I'm gonna work hard on it.

I've learned so much from all my mistakes. I just wish I had gotten my education.

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
Image
I wouldn't adopt, but what I will do is give my time and go and try to be there for people.

You either learn from your experiences or go back and do the same thing, and I learned from my experiences.
Mary J. Blige
Image
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.
