Mary J. Blige

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.

People know what they see but they don't know what's happening inside. If you want to know who you are and how you feel about yourself, take a look at your environment.

Believe in yourself when nobody else does.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!

Bling is good.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
