Some People Are Only Alive Because It Is Illegal To Kill.

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.

If I Think About Starting A New Project - Whether It Be Music, A Movie Or A Fragrance - I Always Stop And Think: Is This Something I Feel Really Passionate About? 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.

It's So Weird To Say This About The Icon And Legend That Is Cher, But She's Like An Old Girlfriend. We Still Talk All The Time. She's An Incredible Person Personally And Professionally, Giving Such Amazing Advice, Stories For Days, Been There Done That. She's One Of A Kind.

I’m Sorry For Blaming You For Everything I Just Couldn’t Do, And I’ve Hurt Myself By Hurting You.

I Turned To Music Originally Because Of My Past And Needing A Release Or An Outlet To Get Out Anger Or Frustration Or Hurt.

Being Too Thin. Being Bigger. I've Been Criticized For Being On Both Sides Of The Scale.

I Don't Want To Be Just A Straight Pop Singer. I'm A Vocalist And That's What I Want To Be Seen As In The Long Run.

When I Try To Describe How I Feel When You Hold Me, I Get Butterflies, I Hear Lullabies, It's Hard To Explain -- Like The Scent Of A Rose Or The Sound Of The Rain. It's Too Precious And Too Wonderful To Give It A Name.

I've Been Through My Highs, I've Been Through My Lows; I've Been Through The Gamut Of All Things In This Business. Being Too Thin. Being Bigger. I've Been Criticized For Being On Both Sides Of The Scale. It's Noise I Block Out Automatically. I Love My Body.

Power Is Making A Statement About Who You Are.

Thankfully, I Have My Mom And A Small Group Of Close Friends Who Are There For Me 24/7 And Whom I Can Trust And Depend On.

People Take Sex Far Too Seriously.

Whether You Like Me, Or Hate Me, This Is Me.

Growing Up With The Childhood That I Had, I Learned To Never Let A Man Make Me Feel Helpless, And It Also Embedded A Deep Need In Me To Always Stick Up For Women.

I've Gone Through A Really Hard Divorce, And Anyone Who Has Gone Through A Divorce Will Speak About How Hard The Journey Is From Start To Finish. It's A Life-uprooting Time.

I'm A Hard Worker And I Really Give To My Fans Through My Shows.

I Wanna Say Thank You Cause: Makes Me That Much Stronger, Makes Me Work A Little Bit Harder. Makes Me That Much Wiser. So Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!

I Went Through My First Big Breakup, With A Boyfriend Who I Had Been With For More Than Two Years. He Had Been One Of My Dancers, And It Was My First Love And His.

The Real Beauty - Inside, It Comes From The Heart, Where Love Lives. If Not, Even The Most Common Facial Features Can Not Hide The Emptiness, Which Eventually Pushes People.

You Can Never Be Too Perfect, Too Thin, Too Curvy. I'm Very Confident And Happy With My Body.

I Don't Even Watch My Own Show: I Tape It, I'm Out.

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.

Words Cut Through My Skin, Tears Roll Down My Chin

I Just Kick Off My Shoes, Walk Around Barefoot, I Don't Care If My Feet Get Dirty.

The Most Vulnerable People Have Tough Exteriors Because They Are Very Scared Inside, And It's Very Hard For People Like That - People Like Me - To Open Up. But Playing It Safe Means You Stop Being Open To Learning. I Always Try To Find The Challenges.

Certain People Want To See Me Solely As A Pop Act, But There Are Many Different Sides To Christina Aguilera Besides The Pop Girl.

When I'm Lost In The Rain, In Your Eyes I Know I'll Find The Light To Light My Way And When I'm Scared, Losing Ground When My World Is Going Crazy You Can Turn It All Around And When I'm Down You're There Pushing Me To The Top You're Always There, Giving Me All You've Got

I Know My Comfort Zone And I Know What My Strong Points Are And My First Love Was Always Music. I'm A Huge Cinema Fan. I Was Taking My Time; I Got Offered A Lot Of Scripts And Things Along The Way But Until Burlesque Showed Up At My Doorstep, It Really Spoke To Me. I Have A Collection Of Burlesque Books At Home That I've Had For Years. I've Always Been Intrigued And Fascinated With The Topic, The Beauty And The Art Of It And The Comedic Value Of It. I Think It's Just A Beautiful, Empowering Thing For Women.

Becoming A Mother Has Helped Me To Realize Who I Am Aside From My Career.

I Love Doing Normal Things - Movies, Shopping, Going Out With Friends, Writing, Reading, Taking Hot Bubble Baths - That's A Big One For Relaxation. I Also Love To Go To Art And History Museums.

In The End You’ll See You Won’t Stop Me.

I Lose Myself In My Performances So I Wouldn't Say That I Ever Act On Stage. I Don't Find It To Be An Acting Drill For Me. I Just Find It To Be Something Very Real That Comes From A Very Gut-driven, Honest Place.

There's A Witch Under This Hair. The Red Lips Are - I Don't Want To Call Them "armor," But They're The Clothes Of My Character, And I'm In The Business Of Entertainment. Wearing Red Lipstick Helps Get Me Into That World.

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

I Stray Away From Formulaic, The Formatted.

It's Been Quite A Roller Coaster Ride, But I've Grown And Learned A Lot About Myself. The Greatest Thing Is Being Able To Interact With Fans And Touch People's Lives... For That I Give Thanks.

I Find Fragrance To Be Such A Mood Enhancer And Definitely A Seduction Tool.

When I First Met My Husband, I Needed That Helping Hand To Take The Reins And Look After Me.

Who Is That Girl I See, Staring Straight Back At Me? When Will My Reflection Show Who I Am Inside?

There Is No Truth To The Rumors That We Hate Each Other. I Have No Ill Feeling For [britney Spears] And Vice Versa. I Am Proud Of All The Achievements She Has Made In Her Career, She Is A Very Hard-working Person. I Have Nothing But Love For Her.

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.

Sometimes, Especially In The Last Six Months, I Still Feel Like Going To The Window And Singing Out All My Troubles.

The Red Lips Are - I Don't Want To Call Them "armor," But They're The Clothes Of My Character, And I'm In The Business Of Entertainment. Wearing Red Lipstick Helps Get Me Into That World.

I Like My Body When I Have Curves. We All Come Indifferent Shapes And Sizes, And This Is Something To Celebrate.

People That Fel Alone Or Outcast That Hurt, Kids That Feel Bullied Or Lost, Remember That You Have A Voice And You Should Use That Voice To Survive And Persevere.

Pain Is Rewarding, In Every Capacity.

After All You've Put Me Through, You Would Think I Despise You, But In The End I Want To Thank You Because You Made Me That Much Stronger.

I Was Brought Up In A Household Of Chaos And I Never Felt Stable At Home. At A Really Young Age, I Decided I Was Never Going To Feel Helpless, I Was Never Going To Feel Weak Around A Man, And I Was Never Going To Rely On Anyone. Independence Was A Big, Big Thing For Me.

I Really Don't Spend Any Time On The Internet, So I Guess I Live A Little Under A Rock In That Respect.

I Want To Be A Poet. I Don't Want To Talk About Genies In Bottles Anymore.

I'm Always Nervous Before I Go On Stage, But Once I'm Out There Everything Is Great And It's My Favorite Place To Be.

Favorite Places

The Beautiful Faces Of The Children I’ve Met In Rwanda And In Other Countries Are With Me Every Day And Fuel My Passion To Raise Awareness Of The Global Hunger Issue. That’s Why I’m Urging Everyone To Join Me And #passtheredcup For Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief Effort. Together We Can Move Millions Of Children From Hunger To Hope.

I Have A Lot Of Things To Say And A Lot Of Things To Let Out Of Me.

If I Was Having A Bad Day, Or If Something Was Really Getting Me Down -- Boy Troubles, Whatever -- I Wanted To Go Out And Get A New Piercing. It Was Definitely A Release For Me. Something That Made Me Feel A Little More Strong Or Empowered. Because It Was Something That Had To Do With Me And No One Else.

I Want To Be A Poet And Have A Chance To Explore That And Let People Know What's Really On My Mind.

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.

[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 Think That The Best Way You Can Get Honesty Across In Your Music To Connect And Relate To People Is To Be Motivated By Personal Emotions, Stories And Feelings.

When I'm Traveling On Tour, One Of My Favorite Things To Do Is To Throw A Baseball Cap On And Go To A Target. The Company Has Always Been Good To Me. They've Got Such A Great Creative Team.

Independence Was A Big, Big Thing For Me. I Saw My Voice As A Way Out - When My Parents Fought, I'd Run Up To My Room, Put On The Sound Of Music, Open The Window And Sing Out. My Voice Was My Escape.

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.

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.

My First Love Was Singing And I Had No Time For Boys.

I Hate Working Out - I Have To Mentally Push Myself Through It. I Can Get Very Whiny, Saying Things Like, 'i Can't Do It!'

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

My Fans Do Deserve To See Me Back Out On The Road.

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.

Time Heals Everything. Sometimes You Have To Go Through That Pain And Heartbreak So That You Can Get To The Other Side And Come Out On Top.

My Elementary School Days Were Miserable. After Star Search, The Jealousy Got Really Bad That Our Neighbors Slashed Our Tires.

A Lot Of People Are Afraid To Face Themselves, Especially When Something Goes Wrong. But That's Important, Because If Something Happens Within A Relationship, It Could Be How You're Allowing Someone Else To Treat You.

Getting Older, You Just Don't Want To Sing Fluffy.

For Me, My Voice And Music Was Always An Outlet. Growing Up In An Unstable Environment And Whatnot, Music Was My Only Real Escape.

When You're Young, It's So Easy To Get Bull-dozed.

I Embrace My Body, And I Embrace Everything About Myself. Coming Full Circle Is A Celebration Of Freedom And Happiness Because That's What [my New Album] 'lotus' Is Representing. I'm Embracing Everything That I've Grown To Be And Learned To Be.

It's A Big Responsibility To Help Someone Express Themselves As An Artist.

It's Frustrating Always Being Compared To Britney Because We Are Two Very Different Artists... We Both Dance And Sing But People Have Not Yet Had Enough Time To Realise That There Is A Huge Difference Between Us. If She Wants To Go And Do Something, I'll Want To Do The Opposite.

I Think You Can Really Gauge My State Of Mind By Listening To My Albums.

I Knew There Would Be A Negative Reaction In The Press To My Divorce, But I Am Not Going To Live My Life Because Of Something Someone Might Say.
