Mariah Carey Filmography

• On marriage after her split from Tommy Mottola: "Stay away from it!. I would marry again if it were about having kids, but other than that, I can't see myself doing it."
• About her sexy image. "I know I have this image that's sexy, but I'm basically like Mary Poppins. That's my nickname! I'm prudish.”
• Talking about her spontaneous striptease on MTV's "Total Request Live" that caused such a stir last year: "I'm not going to stop being me because people don't get me. The only thing I wish I had done is had a better camera angle."
• "This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!" (Madison Square Garden, 1995)
• "There is a light at the end of the tunnel...hopefully it's not a freight train!" – (A funny Mariah quote!)
• "One person could say "Hero is a schmaltzy piece of garbage, but another person can write me a letter and say, 'I've considered commiting suicide every day of my life for the last ten years until I heard that song and I realized after all I can be my own hero.' And that, that's an unexplainable feeling, like I've done something with my life, ya know?" -
• "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"
