MARIAH CAREYWe’ve been expected to be perfect but we aren’t. We’re still human.
MARIAH CAREYI definitely feel more complete than before. There’s a void you have when you don’t feel you’ve found the other part of who you are, so I’m in a different place now and that’s nice to experience.
MARIAH CAREYIt’s not easy that everything you do, everybody has to come in and critique it and give their opinion. Sometimes it does help me and sometimes it hurts me as a person. That’s life. I have feelings.
MARIAH CAREYYou really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.
MARIAH CAREYI work myself into the ground. But I think I’m a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

MARIAH CAREYStay triumphant, keep on living. Stay on your toes, get off the ropes. Don’t let ’em ever count you out.
MARIAH CAREYNever listen to anybody who try to discourage you.
MARIAH CAREYSomething 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.
MARIAH CAREYThe best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.
MARIAH CAREYOnce I was a prisoner lost inside myself with the world surrounding me, wandering through the misery, but now I am free. Free to love, free to laugh, free to soar, free to shine, free to give.
