My brother and sister had a much worse childhood, I think, because they were older, and they had to deal with a lot more racism because they grew up in the '70s and I grew up more in the '80s. So they had to deal with crosses being burned on their lawn and their dogs being poisoned. - Mariah Carey

Prince was one of the best people I've met. He didn't care about the big system.

He actually helped me through a lot of situations with his knowledge. - Mariah Carey
