Famous quotes by Mary J. Blige:

"No one had ever heard of anyone that sounded like Luther,"

"The Late Show With David Letterman."

"[Charles sings the ballad] It All Goes By So Fast ... Shout."

"Me and my husband took him as a friend. He's someone we know we could talk to and call on if we have a question about something we can't answer because, quite frankly, 50 is very intelligent and we really appreciate his expertise, and we really appreciate his opinions and the advice he's given us."

"He was easy to work with. We finished that song in one night - a couple of hours. He's a lot of fun."

"Onstage, you can't have things dragging or hanging. It has to be the tailored, custom-made (version) of your comfort zone. I never want to be too pretty."

"I'm just so happy for her. I watched them count her out; I watched them not believe her; I watched them say she was done. And she's back! So I'm going there just to see that, clap for her, and just be happy for her, and yes -- I want her to get all of them. I want her to clean up."

"We laugh really hard when we go out. We'll have a glass of wine, or we'll go to a club and dance. I'm not sitting around like a hermit; I'm enjoying my life!"

"It all translates; at the end of the day, we've all been picked on for some reason or another. We all get bashed, we all get hurt. Different races get picked on every day. Regular hard-working people just trying to provide get picked on, as do gay people. The important thing is to realize that no matter what people's opinions may be, they're only just that - people's opinions. You have to believe in your heart what you know to be true about yourself. And let that be that."

"I blame my mother for nothing, but forgive her for everything."

"God comes first - if I don't love him, I can't love anybody, and if I can't love me I can't love nobody."

"Really, every woman is an example to me, because as women we go through so much pain. We have to live this perfect life when we are messed up inside. We all go through trials and tribulations."

"I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together - it's great."

"Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?"

"I'm a singer who thinks like a rapper."

"I can see the music. I know what it looks like. I know what color it is. The words come easy, the tears come easy, and the joy comes easy. The music tells you what to do."

"It's OK showing yourself some love."

"Thank you so much for supporting me from the day I stepped foot into the music industry. It really means something to me to have Maya Angelou speak on my behalf. It also means a lot to have Oprah on my speed dial!"

"Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen."

"I can tell you I didn't feel good when I could not articulate properly. Getting my GED was important and I want other women to feel that."
