Mariah Carey People Quotations

I think certain people like to torture me because they think I've had it easier than I actually have and they think: 'Oh, she's got this, she's got that, she's always had everything perfect,' and it's sooo not true.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

People are like, 'What is your whole obsession with butterflies?' I'm like, 'I'm not obsessed. I like them. Can't anybody like something?'

I'm not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

I understand people want to hold on to their roots.

People are constantly asking me if I'm pregnant, but I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see.

I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

Music is what I love and it's what I feel and it's in me and to know that I can do something that I enjoy and hopefully bring some enjoyment to other people through what I do is an incrediable felling and I am just really thankfull for it.

We were hanging out. I'm a huge Eddie Murphy fan. Maybe people could just see that, and that's why they made a big drama. But there is nothing going on. That's the last time I saw him.

We've all been influenced by other people...If Minnie Riperton never existed, would I have even thought of singing in that (upper) register? I doubt it.

People are always asking, 'Is everything ok?' Look, I was not depressed, ok? I was just freaking exhausted.

You can fight against people, and fight to the death, but ... can't control the world.

Sometimes it's tough because I've got to sleep 15 hours to sing the way I want to. It's not easy because my vocal chords are different than most people's.

I don't mind being compared to Whitney (Houston), there are people miles worse to be compared to.
