You can't worry about pleasing other people; you have to please yourself.

I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be.

I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.

Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.

I just want you inside, baby, we don't need to talk about promises.

My dad taught us that there's no greater distance than that between first and second place.

I have met Mariah before and she's really cool and so funny. Everyone has been given the wrong impression of her, and maybe it is her doing. But you have to remember that celebrities are always in the spotlight and are sometimes forced to conduct themselves in a different way than they normally do. That's how it is in the business. I have met artists who are real divas, but Mariah Carey is not one of them. She is a very sweet person, and what nobody sees off camera is the real person she is on the inside.
