Carey's had though times as well, so between the two of us, it's perfect

Gotta get up and try.

For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, 'Wait, I'm doing what I want to be doing. I'm not wanting to do it; I'm doing it.' And that's awesome.

When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.

It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.

Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.
