MARIAH CAREYI started writing poetry when I was six. I had this teacher who didn’t believe the poems I’d bring in were mine because they were dark and sad. But I wrote about what I experienced in my childhood.
MARIAH CAREYI do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don’t take it too seriously.
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 CAREYBasically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.
MARIAH CAREYOne 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.
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 CAREYI’m proud of what I am and who I am, and I’m just going to be myself.
MARIAH CAREYIf you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.
MARIAH CAREYI know you’re shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way. And I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day.
MARIAH CAREYThere’s a hero, If you look inside your heart.
MARIAH CAREYOnly once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.
MARIAH CAREYIn this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.
MARIAH CAREYI’m far from perfect. I’m still learning. I overworked myself, and I paid the price. I consider the breakdown a breakthrough. I needed to hit rock bottom. I needed to understand the cost of pushing so hard; fighting so hard against the system.
MARIAH CAREYI’m very hard on myself and I have too many issues.
MARIAH CAREYA 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.
