More quotes by Mary J. Blige
When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.
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
God loves me and sent his son to die for me so I have to live to please him because he saved me when everyone abandoned me.

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
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

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
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
I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.
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
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
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
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. Understanding that everything that comes to you is what you are. Everything from friends to boyfriends to the job you get - it's all a direct reflection of what you are on the inside.
Mary J. Blige
I’ve done well, I’ve been disappointed, and I think it all goes back to you. Of course the labels are going to be the labels. It’s the music business. You are a business. That’s what they do. So you’ve got to protect yourself.
Mary J. Blige
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.
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
Believe in yourself when nobody else does.
