_The Emancipation of MiMi_became the US best-selling album of 2005. Now Mariah Carey hopes her current tour will extend that career high note. Q: In high school I washed dieshed at your summer camp. A: Get out! Q: Does Camp Mariah have a song? A: They have a ton of hot cheers. Q: How does it feel to be emancipated? A: There will always be parts of me that need emancipating. But it feels nice to allow yourself to be who you are. Q: Do you have any rituals on tour? A: Rest, humidity and prayer. In New York, I have a steam room with a bed in it. Everything is waterproof. Q: What's the first concert you ever saw? A: I didn't exactly have the funds for concerts. There was a time when the only joy I got was recording my ourgoing answering-machine messages. My roommate and I left a message once describing when we had no heat, no water, and fly-paper situation was bleak. It ended up being the message that the record company heard when they called to sign me. I was mortified. Q: You'll play a waitress in a movie called _Tennessee_. Were you afraid to act again after Glitter? A: I was honored Lee Daniels called me. He prouduced _The Woodsman_ and _ Monster's Ball_. He's a risk-taker. Obviously it would be a risk in a lot of people's minds to cast me. But he never saw Glitter. Q: Have you ever sent dogs running with a high note? A: No, but I got a letter from a girl who said she was listening to one of my songs and every time I hit a particular high note, the garage door would open or close. Q: Thanks, Mariah. A: Hey, Thanks for doing the dishes. -- We're never MEANT for each other; we're MEAN to each other. --
