The music business is not a good place for people who don't know things.

I like hanging out with me, and I've accepted everything about me good, bad whatever it is. That's why I'm able to, that's why no one can tell me anything negative about myself.

I had to learn how to trust my gut. Trust what I know to be right... not right, but not waver on who I am. Know who I am, know what I want, and know it. Not waver on it and be secure in that. And I still struggle with it. But I really... I can't be moved. You can't move me, and that all comes with loving myself, and I'm like my best buddy.

'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.

I'm hoping that my entrepreneurial side will have me at a place where I don't have to do anything. That's what I'm striving for.

There are people out there who want to provoke me and bring back the old Mary but I'm not giving them the satisfaction.

It's up to us to choose whether we win or lose...and I choose to win.
