I don't want to be a skinny twig.

Butterflies are always following me, everywhere I go.

Forget the image, forget the ensemble, forget the rumours,
forget the short skirts, the big hair, whatever! I owe this
to the fans and I will never forget you so I want to accept
this award on behalf of all of you. We've come a long way and
I feel like I'm just getting started. Because as an artist,
and most importantly as a person, I am genuinely happy to finally
be free to be who I am. Thank you.
Mariah Carey
Sticking it to the critics at the 1999
Billboard Music Awards |
They sensationalize everything. They have papers to sell,
TV shows to sell, ratings to get. They're not interested in
writing, I had a normal day, that I woke up, put on a pair of
sweats, walked my dog, had lunch and went home.
Mariah Carey
On the media |
I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under
me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background,
I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere.
Mariah Carey |
I don't think anyone knows as much about what's right for
me as I do.
Mariah Carey |
Someone said I never paid any dues.I feel my whole life was
struggling, because we were poor. We were alone, we had nothing--no
security. I feel I have paid my dues. I've been paying my dues
all my life.
Mariah Carey |
I 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.
