That Way, If I'm Not At Home At Least It's For Something I Really Love, And My Son Can Look Up To That.

I Don't See Makeup As A Defense. I See It As A Creative Outlet. I Am A Woman Who Has My Extreme Vulnerable Side And My Baggage--and At Times I Feel Extremely Weak.

People Who See An Unhappy, Sulky Pop Star Assume That She's An Ungrateful, Self-absorbed Little Ninny. But Nobody Knows What's Really Going On. I Need To Eat, I Need To Sleep, And Sometimes Those Things Weren't Considered. It Was Like, "when Do You Think I'll Have Time To Go To The Bathroom?" That Wasn't On The Schedule.

[2010] Was A Rough Year. Between My Divorce And The Other Things I Went Through, A Lot Happened. It's Hard For Anyone To Go Through That In Public. But When You're A Celebrity And Under A Microscope, It's 58 Million Times Harder. I Grew An Even Thicker Skin After That Hard Year.

I've Found That Doing Interviews Forces You To Face Yourself; I'm Constantly Having To Search Within Myself, To See Why I Do Certain Things.

I’ve Never Watched An Entire Episode Of "american Idol." It’s Too Mean. Why Would Anyone Want To Go On A Show To Be Ripped Apart? I Don’t Want To Be Tough With My Singers, But I Do Want To Tell Them On "the Voice" That If You Really Want This, You’ll Be Kicked When You’re Down. You Have To Be Willing To Roll With Those Punches.

The Blind Audition Process Can Be Nerve-wracking.

So Consumed In All Your Doom, Trying Hard To Fill The Emptiness.

I Love The Old Hollywood Glam Look: Platinum Blonde Hair, The Perfect Red Lip. It's Very Marilyn Monroe And Shows A Pure Feminine Beauty.

It's Important To Take Time For Your Spouse And Nurture The Relationship.

It's Been A Joy To Be A Part Of Other People's Journey, To Be Able To Inspire And Be A Part Of New Singers Coming Up In This Business.

Actually, The Challenge I’ve Always Had Is Being Too Thin, So I Love That Now I Have A Booty, And Obviously I Love Showing My Cleavage.

I Got Along Better With The Guys Than With The Girls. Only Two Girls Came Up To Talk To Me. Later I Found Out They Were Telling Their Boyfriends, 'if You Talk To Her, I'll Kill You.' It's Always Rough With That High School Thing.

I've Been Offered A Few Movie Parts So Far, But I Have To Really Concentrate On Singing. But It's Something I'm Interested In Doing Eventually. I Haven't Been Offered A Part That Truly Inspires Me To Take Time Off, Though.

During That Grammy Moment, When I Nearly Collapsed, I Was Thinking, Are You Kidding Me? I've Always Been Really Good With My Heels. Even Pregnant, I Could Perform In Heels. Note To Self: Never Wear A Train Onstage.

I Just Get Really Bored With Sticking To The Norm And Having The Proper Conservative Image. That's Just So Not Me.

Words Cut Through My Skin, Tears Roll Down My Chin

I'm Not Being Like, 'hey, Everybody, I'm Pregnant!' I'm Not That Girl.
