Mary J. BligeIf you're looking for inner peace from the outside world, you're not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside.
Mary J. BligeI cannot save the world, that's not what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm just trying to walk the walk and be an example to those that want it.

Even when I ended up in the music business I couldn't see that.
