After I Had My Son, Max, I Knew I Wanted To Get Involved In Causes That Help Children.

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.

When You're Part Of A Pop Phenomenon, You Have So Many Opinions Shoved Down Your Throat.

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

I Think That Whatever Size Or Shape Body You Have, It's Important To Embrace It And Get Down!

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. I Saw It As A Way Out.

I Talk Openly About My Past And What I've Gone Through - Abuse Being Something That Was Very Real In My Household, And A Lot Of Chaos Growing Up As A Child.

I Feel Like I've Been Locked Up Tight For A Century, Waiting For Someone To Release Me.

Blues And Soul And Jazz Music Has So Much Pain, So Much Beauty Of Raw Emotion And Passion.

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.

Favorite Places

The Schedule Is Crazy - It's All Suitcases And Hotel Rooms And You Just Go Nonstop. It's A Crazy Lifestyle, It Really Is.

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

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

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.

Words Cut Through My Skin, Tears Roll Down My Chin

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

In Order To Effect Great Change, We Need To Look At How We Can Help Those In Our Own Communities As Well As Globally.

I Love Getting My Feet Massaged.

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.

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

Now Everyone Is A Critic.

I'm Not Just Another Bimbo.

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

You Need To Find The Power Within To Make [things] Happen For Yourself. When You Realize This, You Are Unstoppable.

I Think They Say That When You're Breast Feeding, You Know, Your Weight Kind Of Slims Down. It's A Little Easier. It's Like A Workout Within Itself. It's Very Tiring Actually And You Find Yourself Snacking More Often.

Finding Yourself

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.

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 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.

There Was No Way In Hell I Was Going To Jeopardize My Baby For My Show.

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

I Want To Look Good When People See Me.

[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.

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

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.

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

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 Known As The Little Girl With The Big Voice.

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.

Sometimes Magazines Will Take Artist's Creative Choices Too Literally; They Assume That I Actually Live The Way I Do In Music Videos. For Example: The Whole "dirty" Thing. Do You Think I Wear Chaps To The Grocery Store?

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.

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 Don't Think I Could Ever Really Be With A Woman Because That's A Lot Of... Yeah, There's A Lot Of Estrogen And I'm A Lot To Deal With When It's That Time Of The Month, So I Can't Imagine It Times Two.

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!'

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 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.

Pop Is Actually My Least Favorite Kind Of Music, Because It Lacks Real Depth.

I Love Tom Cruise. When Penelope Cruz Is Through With Him, I'm Next.

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.

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.

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

I Am Very Honest, Even In Interviews.

I Feel Things Deeply.

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

When There's No One Else Look Inside Yourself -- Like Your Oldest Friend -- Just Trust The Voice Within -- Then You'll Find The Strength That Will Guide Your Way. You'll Learn To Begin To Trust The Voice Within.

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

It's Important To Recognize Your Own Self-destructive Behavior And Be Honest About It. You're Only Hurting Yourself Or Losing Out On Your Truth And Happiness. I'm Not Afraid To Face My Own Personal Stuff. It's So Important To Dig It Up And Figure It Out And Move On.

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

It's Hard Being Such A Powerful Woman In The Business. I'm Known For Not Always Being Warm And Fuzzy, Because You'll Just Get Bulldozed Over.

I'm A Big Micro Manager; I'm A Stickler About Organisation; Everything Needs A Place, A Purpose, And Micro Managing Myself Even When I'm In The Studio.

It's Always Nerve-wracking When You're Hosting "saturday Night Live." You Either Sink Or Swim.

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

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 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 Don't Think There Is Such A Thing As Being Too Raunchy When It Comes To The Art Form Of Burlesque.

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.

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

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 Look Back At The Looks I've Had Over The Years. I'm Proud Of Myself That I Had The Courage To Experiment With Crazy Hairstyles And Some Fashion Things. Would I Do It Again? No. But That's Part Of The Learning Process And Getting From Point A To Point B.

People Expect Me To Cry, But I Always Laugh When Things Go Wrong.

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.

Whatever I Do, It's My Business. It's Not My Job To Parent America.

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.

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.

I've Always Been Inspired Even More By Any Naysayers To Keep Going For What I Really Want And They've Almost Been My Inspiration Many Times More So Than Any Positive People Around Me To Conquer.

Etta James Is My All-time Favorite Singer. I've Said It In Every Interview, In Every Story, In Every On- And Off-camera Question. That Music Was Always Such A Huge Escape For Me, Even From A Young Age.

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!

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