Creativity Quote by Cher

That line lands like a slammed dressing-room door: defiant, a little theatrical, and perfectly calibrated for someone who’s spent a career being told to soften, smile, or stay in her lane. Coming from Cher, “I only answer to two people, myself and God” isn’t piety so much as a power move. It replaces the usual roster of bosses - executives, critics, male collaborators, the public - with two authorities she controls (her own conscience) or that no one else can deputize (God). It’s spiritual language used as a shield against worldly gatekeeping.

The intent is blunt: autonomy. But the subtext is sharper. Cher isn’t claiming she’s above accountability; she’s pointing out how accountability gets weaponized against women in entertainment. “Answer to me” is what an industry says when it wants obedience dressed up as professionalism. Cher’s retort reframes the terms: she’ll take responsibility, but not submission. There’s also a sly flex in the pairing. “Myself” signals self-trust earned through survival - reinventions, mockery, ageism, the long game of being underestimated. “God” adds moral ballast and a wink of untouchability: argue with her if you want, but you’re not winning the higher court.

Context matters because Cher’s persona has always fused sincerity with camp. The line reads like a catchphrase, but it’s also a boundary, and boundaries are the least glamorous, most radical thing a celebrity can set. It’s Cher turning fame’s constant demands into background noise and keeping the only verdicts that matter.
