Family is always first.

We're gonna do it like George Foreman. We're gonna name all of our kids Mariah no matter if they're boys or girls. Mariah No. 1, Boy Mariah, Man Mariah, Tall Mariah. It's gonna be a house full of people named Mariah.

I'm so into playing different characters, even when I was on Nickelodeon. I just observe.

I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word "diva" and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it.

People think that as a celebrity, you have to have this sort of mystique about you, but I'm probably the realest person you'll ever meet.

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.

If I have a talent, it's already been exploited! I've shown everything I can do to the public.
