Remember Mariah Carey?

While Taylor Swift dominates the current music scene; Miley Cyrus makes young fans cry; and Susan Boyle comes out of nowhere to break debut album sales records, Mariah is aiming to reclaim her spot atop the industry.

We're not sure if a spread in Paper magazine will do the trick, but that's where Carey is featured this month.

In an interview with the publication, the diva touches on her well-publicized breakdown, her fun-loving husband and more...

On her 2001 breakdown: “It was after September 11th. A lot of people taking shots at me had no place to go. We are friggin’ ADD, this country. There’s a huge ADD situation.”

On her early self-image: “I have had very low self-esteem my whole life. When I was 12 or 13, I remember walking up the driveway, and this guy who was 20 — which may have been highly inappropriate — said to me, ‘I like your pants,’ and I was like ‘Oh, that looks good? Oh, OK, I will wear tight pants now.”

On Nick Cannon: “All we do is have fun together. I don’t know what his eternal age is, but maybe it’s more like 16.”
