More quotes by Mary J. Blige
Larry David makes me laugh.
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 don't know what kind of God the rest of y'all are serving, but the God I serve says, 'Mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and I'm gonna make sure you're doing that.'
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
I think women should band together to get us more respect in all the businesses that we're in because, you know, if we turn 40, we're nothing and nobody. We all should band together and just say we're not gonna go down like that.
Mary J. Blige
I'm from the element of the streets that says that once you've made it, it's yours. But keep it to yourself.
Mary J. Blige
I started speaking about what I was dealing with through my music, and 4 million women responded and said, 'Us too, Mary.' And I didn't know that everyone was hurting like I was hurting. I had no idea.
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
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
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
As a kid, I was in love with Michael Jackson, and I just knew I was going to marry him someday.
Mary J. Blige
We are all just a work in progress.
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
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
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
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
Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.
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
As far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.
Mary J. Blige
I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.
Mary J. Blige
