Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores.

Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you; don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.

I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.

When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.

I have to have lemon and honey. I have to have apple cider vinegar, Braggs. And I have to have either Red Vines or Twizzlers. These things, you know, are the things that help my vocal performance.

I don't think I'll do foster care or adopt, to be quite honest.

I don't know what kind of God the rest of y'all are serving, but the God I serve says, 'Mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and I'm gonna make sure you're doing that.'
