Mariah Carey on her past life:
“When I was in an unhappy place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but didn’t have one. He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed. They’ve been calling me Cinderella since I first started out, so, of course, being Cinderella… Most people would think, Okay, please! This doesn’t happen in real life.”
Mariah Carey on her marriage with 27-year-old actor-rapper Nick Cannon:
“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet. Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would have been not quiet or private. I think we didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick… are you sure?”
