My client put her family’s life on hold while tending to Mariah Carey’s family, and Mariah repaid her by underpaying her… My client is a very hardworking woman who treated Mariah and her family like her own, working all hours of the day and night. Even celebrities are required to abide by the law.

I would say that I am like another mother figure to her [Mariah].

Seacrest interviews Carey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks if she will return to American Idol for another season.

Yeah, I actually can. I love moments like this, because I think they’re great. You work through whatever. I’m just learning. I don’t consider myself a judge, I consider myself as someone who is trying to give constructive criticism and guidance I think it’s a really, really great opportunity for people out there who don’t necessarily have the money to make their own demo or to go to a record company and stuff like that. I have a totally new respect for the whole thing.

Mariah Carey interview

The Guardian interviews Carey about her role as Miss Weiss in the film Precious. 

I spent as much time as I could getting into it. She is supposed to be exhausted, so it didn’t matter that I stayed up. I really did the best I could to morph into this woman who goes into this office every day and deals with people needing something from her, trying to get things from her, maybe being disingenuous.
