'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.
From Mary J. Blige
It's OK showing yourself some love.
I do consider myself part of black history.
My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.
I care about me now. When I didn't care about me, I was, like, 'Why is this going wrong? Why is my life so bad?' But when you don't care about yourself, nobody else is going to care about you. So I learned to love myself, even if nobody else does.
I'm from the element of the streets that says that once you've made it, it's yours. But keep it to yourself.
You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect.
I can go out raw with nothing, and my fans would still be happy, but I feel that I owe it to them to give them almost like a Broadway musical at this point in my life. I have to give them something more, so I do have to think of different ways to do it.
I believe there should be no more drama, but it's everywhere you go. It's just about how you get out. You've gotta bob and weave because it's everywhere. How do I keep the drama low? It's about using your head.
I suffered from self hatred so much. It's like I didn't want to look like that any more. I didn't to feel like that any more. It had to be another way.
