Now what to do. My heart has been bruised. So sad but it’s true. Each beat reminds me of you.

I’m a bit of a night owl because that’s when I feel the most creative and alive.

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.

There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

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

I don’t want to talk about genies in bottles anymore.

Someone who’s like Angelina Jolie because she isn’t scared of not being pretty. She’s my favourtie actress. I’d love a role like the one she played in ‘Girl, Interrupted’. I’ve never met her.. I’d be...

I want to be a poet. I don’t want to talk about genies in bottles anymore.

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.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

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.

I don’t see anything wrong with being comfortable with my own skin.

I’m a businesswoman.

I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever, … Thank you so, so much.

You are beautiful no matter what they say, remember words can´t bring you down

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.

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 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.
