Britney's A Really Cool Girl, We Were Really Close Back When We Were On The Mickey Mouse Club, And Even Watching Her In Interviews I Find Myself Missing Her Lately. I'm Really Proud Of Her, How Far She's Come And What She's Been Able To Accomplish. And To Keep It Together: It's So Crazy Out On The Road. I Gotta Give Her Credit For Not Just Going Berserk And Letting Everybody Get To Her. I Just Passed On My Number To Her Through Somebody. It's Good To Have Friends In The Business Who Know What You're Going Through.

It's Definitely A Dream Come True To Be Recognized And To Be Able To Sign Autographs. But, It's Also A Lot Of Hard Work And Can Be Draining. If You Don't Know Already, You Will Quickly Learn Who Your Real Friends Are.

When You Have A Specific Vision For Something, You Just Go In And Attack It.

I'm Comfortable With My Body And It Was A Creative Choice. I Know That Might Make Some Women Feel Uncomfortable, But We Need To Stick Together Instead Of Getting Angry At Each Other For Our Choices. I Think Women Are Sensual, Beautiful Beings, And I Feel Empowered When I Express Myself Sexually.

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 Was Brought Up In A Household Of Chaos And I Never Felt Stable At Home.

I'm A Bit Of A Night Owl Because That's When I Feel The Most Creative And Alive.

Let's Get Glam. It's All In The Way You Move. Let's Get Glam. Don't Let The Clothes Wear You. Let's Get Glam. It's All An Attitude.

You Know What, I'm Very Interested In Acting, But Right Now I'm Busy Promoting My Album And Going On Tour Because That's My First Love, But I'm Very Interested In Doing Some Parts That May Come My Way.

I Haven't Been Offered A Part That Truly Inspires Me To Take Time Off, Though.

I’m Addicted To Your Allure And I’m Fiending For A Cure.

There Have Been A Lot Of Roles And Scripts That Have Come My Way But Nothing That Really Inspired Me Or Intrigued Me Like When "burlesque" Showed Up At My Door. Just The Whole Concept Of Burlesque, I've Always Been Fascinated With It. I've Always Collected So Many Books About Burlesque. I've Been Intrigued By The Time That It's Set In, In The 20's, 30's, 40's And So I Knew It Was A No Brainer For Me To Be A Part Of Once I Met With The Team.

My Parent's Divorce And Hard Times At School, All Those Things Combined To Mold Me, To Make Me Grow Up Quicker. And It Gave Me The Drive To Pursue My Dreams That I Wouldn't Necessarily Have Had Otherwise.

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. And Who's To Say A Little Mascara Doesn't Make You Feel More Confident When You Pop It On And Look In The Mirror? It Helps, Especially In My Position, Where I Have People Waiting Down The Street To Take Pictures Of Me So They Can Evaluate And Criticize Every Little Flaw On My Face.

I Was 21. At The Time, I Was Under The Thumb Of My Label, And I Felt Like I Had To Do, Say And Act Out Everything They Asked Me To Do. I Was Trying To Please Them And The Public And Finally I Had To Say, "enough. I'm Going To Make A Record That Makes Me Happy And Addresses All Facets Of Being A Woman. I Don't Care If I Sell One Or One Million Records." That's How I Came To Make Stripped.

I Love Theatrics And Have A Huge Imagination: Why Would I Want To Sit Onstage And Sing A Bunch Of Ballads Back-to-back?
