Quotes by Mary J Blige
- I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
- I do consider myself part of black history.
- I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust, but most of all I listen to myself.
- 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.
- I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does.
- I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children.
- I've just been growing right along. It's painful, but it's a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It's like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you're looking so hot.
- In the inner city, there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.
- It was only for two years, and I jumped from family to family. It's very scary.
