I Listen To Gospel Music.

The Music Business Is Really, Really Small. The Real Music Is Becoming Almost Extinct, If You Don't Stay True To Who You Are.

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.

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.

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.

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.
