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.
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 CAREYBasically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.
MARIAH CAREYI’m really fortunate. I’m really happy, and I’m really really lucky to be where I am.
MARIAH CAREYAfter every storm, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears.
MARIAH CAREYThere’s a hero, If you look inside your heart.
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 CAREYIf critics have problems with my personal life, it’s their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it’s the charts that count.
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.
MARIAH CAREYI know I can be diva-ish sometimes, but I have to be in control. The nature of my life, the nature of what I do, is divadom, it really is.
MARIAH CAREYI’m not vain, I’m insecure.
MARIAH CAREYI am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.
MARIAH CAREYIt’s in my genes. My mother was an opera singer. I’m clearly dramatic.
MARIAH CAREYI think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.
MARIAH CAREYThere is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully its not a freight train!
MARIAH CAREYWhen I saw you, when I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep. When I saw you, when I saw you I’d never be, I’d never be the same.
MARIAH CAREYI still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever’s on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.
