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’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.

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

I Love Red And I Think It's More Than Just A Color: It Evokes An Emotion. When You Wear Red, It Makes You Feel Empowered And Sexy. For Me, Sin Is All About Temptation And The Power Of Seduction. Red Sin Is A Combination Of Those Elements To Make Women Feel Irresistible.

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.

We Take Food For Granted, But It Isn't A Luxury For Many People.

I'm Very Protective Of How Much I Let People See.

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.

One Of The Things That I Truly Have Had To Learn, Sometimes The Hard Way, But That I'd Like To Share With You Is To Trust Your Own Instincts No Matter What People Might Say About You, No Matter What Criticism Or What Negativity Might Come Your Way For Just Being Who You Are, And Just Being Yourself, It's So Important. Tonight Is Your Night.

I Didn't Want To Do Something That Was Easy For Me.

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

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 Don't Weigh Myself - It's All About How I Feel In My Clothes. What Looks Good On One Person Might Not Look Good On Another Body Type. I Happen To Be Very Confident In My Own Skin. It Takes Time To Get To That Place, But It's All About Embracing Yourself And Your Body.

At This Point Of My Life, I'm 32 And I Feel Sexier Than Ever Because You Know What You Want.

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.

It's An Amazing Thing To Say, 'i'm Beautiful,' Without Feeling Like You're Cocky.

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.

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.

Feminine Beauty

Don't Let Anything Morph You Or Push You Around Or Have You Be Something You're Not.

I'm Not Really Religious But Very Spiritual. I Give Money To This Company That Manufactures Hearing Aids On A Regular Basis. More People Should Really Hear Me Sing. I Have A Gift From God.

I Enjoy Real People, Down-to-earth People Who Are True To Themselves And Honest To Your Face - Good Or Bad.

When You're Seventeen Years Old, Green And Inexperienced, You're Grateful For Any Guidance And Direction You Can Get.

I Don't Weigh Myself - It's All About How I Feel In My Clothes.

I Was Known As The Little Girl With The Big Voice.

Hurt Me To See The Pain Across My Mothers Face, Every Time My Father's Fist Would Put Her In Her Place.

That Overachieving, Ambitious, Nobody-can-hold-me-down Attitude I Had, Which Came From A Place Of Anger And Aggression, Has Transformed Into Feeling Like I Will Take On The World, But I Will Do It With An Embrace, Rather Than With My Dukes Up.

I'm Embracing Many Different Things, But It's All Feel-good.

I Have Fun Being Sexy And Tough At The Same Time.

Words Cut Through My Skin, Tears Roll Down My Chin

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.

The Most Successful People I've Worked With, Like The Rolling Stones - People Of A Different, Kind Of Legendary Caliber - Have Such Great, Warm Energy.

Sometimes You Just Know What You're Placed On This Earth To Do.

I'm Not Just Another Bimbo.

There's Always A Positive To Those Negative Times, Because You Come Out Of It So Much Stronger And Wiser. Strength Comes From Every Hardship, And It's Been A Lesson For Me.

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.

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

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.
