We call it more of a docu-series because it feels like a documentary.

Theres no way I was like, Ooh, lets do some kind of reality thing.

I dont even watch reality.

I dont even know what reality is.

In terms of like, real or not real.

Mariah Carey, describing why she doesnt considerMariahs Worldto be a reality show.

They could have their own show, because thats how funny they are.

Theyre an integral part of my life.

They just turned 5, so… well see.

I think it should be sparingly used, unfortunately, but they should have their own show.

Mariah Carey, when asked how often her children will appear on the show.

It was the most abusive experience.

By the way, youve just driven me to drink.

Mariah Carey, when asked what she learned onAmerican Idolbefore picking up a glass of champagne.

If you know somebody for 10 years, you kind of know the real them.

Mariah Carey, on the biggest misconception about her.

Anybody else need a touch up?

Mariah Carey, while receiving a touch-up from her hair and make-up artists onstage.

I didnt say that, darling.

I said hecame around.

I dont know what makes the final cut.

Sorry, was that rude?

Im so not trying to slay anybody at all.

Theres peaks and valleys.

I dont throw shade.

I dont know why people think this.

Do you legitimately think that Im a shady person?

Mariah Carey, asked whether she throws shade in the show.

Mariah Carey, onScandal.

People dont really do that anymore.

Mariah Carey, on her new album.

Its a secret because then everybody steals the concept.

Im serious, it just happened to me like two months ago.

I dont want to go into it because then Im gonna be shady.

Mariah Carey, on why she wont reveal more details about the album.

Carey:I mean, I dont know… youd have to define pop to me.

Reporter:Are there any female artists you think are just killing it in the music industry?

Carey:Theres a few.

Reporter:And they would be?

Carey:They would be lovely ladies, but its not their day.
