When I First Came Out There Was No Such Thing As Twitter Or Facebook. And The Blogs! Like, What Is That?

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.

[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.

Fashion Is A Lifestyle, It's A Choice,it's A Freedom Of Expression.you Have To Live It, You Have To Love It. You Have To Breathe It. Life's All About Love And Glamour.

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

I'm Not Just Another Bimbo.

One Day I Hope To Open A Shelter Of My Own. I Think It's Really Important To Share My Own Story With Women Who've Been Abused, Because Going Through That Experience Has Led Me To Where I Am Today: It's Given Me The Strength And Motivation To Be The Best That I Can Be.

I Remember Watching The Grammys And Looking At The Performances And Crying To My Mom, Saying How Much I Wanted To Be There.

Being A Mother, Singer And Actress Is A Definite Juggling Act, But I Don't Think I Would Be Comfortable Any Other Way.

Not To Say That Music Today Doesn't Have Heart, But It's Really Few And Far Between Because Technology Has Advanced Itself So Much That Anybody Can Be A Singer. Back In The Day, You Had To Know How To Sing.

I'm Not A 9-to-5 Woman Who Has The Same Kind Of Lifestyle For Years On End. I Couldn't Do It.

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

I Think An Artist Can Fit Under A Few Different Categories Depending On How Much You Explore Your Creativity. It Can Vary From Artist To Artist From Musician To Performer To Vocalist. I Thrive On Creativity. So In The Long Run I Want To Be An All Around Entertainer.

I'm A Smart Girl. There Are Decisions That I Make For Reasons, And The Most Important Thing Is That My Son Is Happy And He Always Will Be. He's Surrounded By Love.

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

I'm Not A Judgmental Person, So I Can't Comment On Someone Else's Background.

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.

I Feel Things Deeply.

I Will Not Have My Son Grow Up In A Tension-filled Home.

I Still Got The Nasty In Me.

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

The Roughest Road Often Leads To The Top.

I Embraced Being A Pop Artist, But I Like Doing It On My Own Terms, At My Own Pace.

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.

My Son Is Healthy And Happy, So That's All That Matters To Me.

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. You Have To Really Want It.

Toward The End Of My Pregnancy, I Felt Really Big - I Gained About 40 Pounds, Which Is A Lot For My Size.

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 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.

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

I Am Very Honest, Even In Interviews.

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

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

You Are Beautiful In Every Single Way. Words Can't Bring You Down.

You Are Beautiful

Words Cut Through My Skin, Tears Roll Down My Chin

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.

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

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.

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

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

I Don't See Anything Wrong With Being Comfortable With My Own Skin.

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.

For Me The Visual Is Just As Important As The Music.

Why Is A Woman's Sexuality Always Under So Much Scrutiny? Why Can't She Do Exactly What She Please Without Being Called A Million Things?

To The Sky, I Rise / Spread My Wings, And Fly / I Leave The Past Behind / And Say Goodbye To The Scared Child Inside / I Sing For Freedom, And For Love / I Look At My Reflection / Embrace The Woman I've Become / The Unbreakable Lotus In Me / I Now Set Free

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

I Thought I Knew Who You Were, But I See Now You Were A Lesson To Learn, And All I Am To You Now Is A Bridge That’s Been Burned.

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.

Basically, What I'm Saying Is There Is Nothing Fake About What I Do. I'm Up-front, I'm Real, I'm Honest And I'm Open With My Feelings.

My Body Can't Put Anyone In Jeopardy Of Not Making Money Anymore - My Body Is Just Not On The Table That Way Anymore.

I'm Very Eclectic In What I Like And What I Listen To. But My Favorite Musical Ever Is "the Sound Of Music." That Was Actually One That Inspired Me To Sing.

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.

I Really Love Traveling To Japan.

The Female Body Is Something That's So Beautiful. I Wish Women Would Be Proud Of Their Bodies And Not Diss Other Women For Being Proud Of Theirs.

For Me The Visual Is Just As Important As The Music. I Would Never Record Without My Red Lipstick. It Was My Way Of Getting Into Character, Sort Of Like Method Singing.

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.
