There’s an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.
MARIAH CAREYThere’s an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.
MARIAH CAREYI really rebel against authority.
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 CAREYIf you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don’t let go! You can make it, make it happen.
MARIAH CAREYYou can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.
MARIAH CAREYLord knows dreams are hard to follow, but don’t let anyone tear them away.
MARIAH CAREYCause there’s a light in me that shines brightly. They can try, but they can’t take that away from me.
MARIAH CAREYIf you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.
MARIAH CAREYI’ve seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don’t think that’s who I am.
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 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 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 CAREYNever listen to anybody who try to discourage you.
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’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.
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.
