True diva could not live without smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.

I just want one day off when I can go swimming and eat ice cream and look at rainbows.

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you're gonna make it happen.

You don't have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.

The international music scene has grown so much, and America is sort of following that.

To quote Frank Sinatra, "Regrets, I've had a few / But then again, too few to mention."

I do all of my own stunts in videos. The Jet Ski scenes, the fight scenes, all of them!

I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.

But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

Some of us talk about other people and what they do and la la la. But I'm not that person.

There's a hero if you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you are.

There's an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

The minute I started addressing my feelings, I actually came out of very negative situations.

See, I'm looking for a man that'll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

We're all a little wacko sometimes, and if we think we're not, maybe we are more than we know.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

I'd rather be onstage with a pig - a duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't going to happen.

I don't mind being compared to Whitney (Houston), there are people miles worse to be compared to.

I could do my own nails... I went to beauty school in the 11th grade. But why would I do that now?

Christmas is always the most fun. I start looking forward to Christmas before it's even summertime.

I never thought that I would have love again, but it's amazing how the universe brings love to you.

Sipping Bailey's Cream by the stereo, trying to find relief on the radio. I'm suppressing the tears.

If you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don't let go! You can make it, make it happen

I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.

Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly. They can try, but they can't take that away from me.

Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.

I really haven't paid attention to Madonna since about like 7th or 8th grade when she used to be popular

Stay triumphant, keep on living. Stay on your toes, get off the ropes. Don't let 'em ever count you out.

No stress, no fights. I'm leaving it all behind. No tears, no time to cry. Just making the most of life.

I've been blessed to live my dream more than half my life, so I want help give that back to someone else.

I always sang and I always wrote...it's just having that ambition. You really can't let go of your dreams.

I wrote my own anthem: it's called 'Mariah's Theme.' It's on the 'Rainbow' album from '99. Back in the day.

People are always asking, 'Is everything ok?' Look, I was not depressed, ok? I was just freaking exhausted.

Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You're all I know. I can't let go.

Apparently I don't do stairs, I won't walk on carpet and I refuse to walk on grass. How do I do to get around, hover?

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

I'm experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it's appropriate I do it on the record.

One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.

Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us.

I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

She smiles through a thousand tears, and harbors adolescent fears. She dreams of all that she can never be, she wades in insecurity.

The fans never send me crazy things. They send me things that they put so much time and effort into making, and they are so amazing.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

I can't wear flat shoes. My feet repel them. I was in agony. My high heels had left my feet bleeding. Laugh all you want, my feet hurt

I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it's just like, Why? Why do that?

I don't go out much. I'm also not promiscuous. If I went out with everyone the press said I did, I'd never have time to write or sing.
