It’s important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.

I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.

I’m very protective of how much I let people see.

I’m not just another bimbo.

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...

I’m experimental by nature . . . always exploring my creativity.

In the end you’ll see you won’t stop me.

I’m experimental by nature… always exploring my creativity.

When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

I really love traveling to Japan.

I watched the MTV Video Music Awards every year, telling myself that one day I’m going to be there, and it’s like, finally – I made it!

Mmm… I do keep a journal that keeps me in touch with myself, and I’m always writing down thoughts and ideas, which then I turn into song lyrics and things like that. But also, my...

I do reinvent old hits of mine and sort of give them a new life.

I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home.

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.

I don’t want to believe my own hype.

Now everyone is a critic.

It’s really sad to see that some tabloid magazines still have to manufacture ill will between Britney and me, … We are both grown-ups and have the utmost respect for each other personally and professionally....

The roughest roads often lead to the top.

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending… we gotta let ourselves be.

I think you can really gauge my state of mind by listening to my albums.

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 one that likes to collaborate.

I’m getting a trainer. But not to lose anything, because I like being a little thicker!

Britney and I show a little tummy and it’s like, ‘Oh My God.’ But N’Sync or Backstreet Boys will do repeated pelvic thrusts to an audience of pre-pubescent girls and nobody says anything!

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.

It’s been a joy to be a part of other people’s journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.

I love my body.

I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.

I feel so fortunate to be 22 right now and having three [grammy awards] under my belt, which is amazing.’

I am terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused, but my doctor has ordered me to my bed and told me I cannot perform for at least 10 days.

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.

I’ve always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels.

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...

I don’t weigh myself – it’s all about how I feel in my clothes.

Being too thin. Being bigger. I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.

But I’m not falling for their lies and neither should my fans or Britney’s.

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.

I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.

It’s a big responsibility to help someone express themselves as an artist.

Saturday Night Live was fun, really really fun. The changing lady was so quick, she almost tore my arm off after the opening monolouge.

“I always run stuff past my mum to check it doesn’t pass the taste barrier and she said they could have done a better job with it.” [About Dirrty SNL skit with Sarah Michelle Geller]

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.

I’m a lucky girl.

I have those days where I’m PMSing and bloated.

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.
