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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I'm on my way to a place where I'd never dreamed I'd be, and that's perfection.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
God comes first - if I don't love him, I can't love anybody, and if I can't love me I can't love nobody.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I've just been growing right along. It's painful, but it's a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It's like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you're looking so hot.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I have to have lemon and honey. I have to have apple cider vinegar, Braggs. And I have to have either Red Vines or Twizzlers. These things, you know, are the things that help my vocal performance.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I like hanging out with me, and I've accepted everything about me good, bad whatever it is. That's why I'm able to, that's why no one can tell me anything negative about myself.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
People know what they see but they don't know what's happening inside. If you want to know who you are and how you feel about yourself, take a look at your environment.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I'm my worst critic, and I like the fact that I can listen to myself now and make fun of myself, listen, make changes - 'Oh, man, that's messed up. Okay, I need to work on that; I need to work on this.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
There are people out there who want to provoke me and bring back the old Mary but I'm not giving them the satisfaction.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
If you're not confident in yourself, you're going to waver. I've wavered, and I've lost.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
'My Life' is soft, with notes of pear and gardenia, but still bold, with a woody base.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
When you tell your truth, you are coming from a real place, so you are automatically a leader.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I always want to be a messenger, a person that, you know, that's not afraid to pass on wisdom.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
When someone comes up to me and says, 'Mary, you helped save my marriage', or, 'Mary, you helped me get out of this abusive relationship', I'm in it, really in their lives. And I'm so passionate about my feelings, but also about showing people the way through theirs.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together - it's great.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I felt ashamed about everything. Me dropping out of high school, me not, you know, just not being beautiful enough. I just didn't feel like I was smart enough or beautiful enough, you know, for years.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I hated myself for so many reasons, and I thought so many things were my fault that happened to me growing up.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
It's not just songs and glamour. It's sweat, blood, broken toes, and mistakes... It's life.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
By the time I was a teenager, when I went outside the house, it was about hip-hop all the time. Nothing but hip-hop, block parties.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
From being a little girl in the projects, going through all of the mess that I was going through, to ending up at the Inauguration for the first African-American president, I'm speechless right now because I never thought I'd - I never ever - I couldn't even see that far. Even when I ended up in the music business, I couldn't see that.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I suffered from self hatred so much. It's like I didn't want to look like that any more. I didn't to feel like that any more. It had to be another way.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
It's challenging to find an identity as a young person if you don't have the sustenance of love, because you're being shipped around.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I grew up watching MTV, when Journey was huge, when Pat Benatar had 'Love Is a Battlefield,' and my friends and I used to cut school to watch this woman in the video. We loved Pat Benatar.
Quote by -Mary J. Blige
I can go out raw with nothing, and my fans would still be happy, but I feel that I owe it to them to give them almost like a Broadway musical at this point in my life. I have to give them something more, so I do have to think of different ways to do it.
