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!
I want to be a poet. I don't want to talk about genies in bottles anymore.
I'd really like to make my first movie before I make my next album.
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.
I'm experimental by nature . . . always exploring my creativity.
What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending...we gotta let ourselves be.
I love Tom Cruise. When Penelope Cruz is through with him, I'm next.
I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.
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. I've been offered a few movie parts so far, but I have to really concentrate on singing. But it's something I'm interested in doing eventually. I haven't been offered a part that truly inspires me to take time off, though.
I'm not just another bimbo.
"Maybe best pop female vocal, I am kind of keeping my fingers crossed but you never know what is going on behind the scenes, but good bums come in all shapes and sizes''.
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 seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever, ... Thank you so, so much.
I'm a risk taker and I've always been like that, especially when it comes to fashion.
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.
It's like, wow, she had a baby! That's crazy! I'm overjoyed and thrilled for her
I want to have something that's different to the way I've been portrayed. I admire Angelina Jolie - she acts tough but is still sexy.
The utmost respect for each other.
I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.
It was a really hard time. Anything just set me off...I almost wanted to, you know, hurt myself. And it was the first time I'd ever had thoughts like that. I have a lot of pain and anger.
Now what to do. My heart has been bruised. So sad but it's true. Each beat reminds me of you.
Right now I'm pretty single . . . . My career is my boyfriend.
I'm getting a trainer. But not to lose anything, because I like being a little thicker!
My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.
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 so nervous! And star-struck!
Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to.
I hope for the best, it's great to be nominated even once in your life.
Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.
When I got to the last box, there was a ring in it. He got down on one knee and said 'Will you do me the honor of being my wife?' I've been floating ever since.
I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.
Her fans are so loyal, they will always be there for her.
I was in a weird head space, I was not myself, for sure. I was kind of running around, crazy, experiencing things for the first time. That was the first time I had really broken things, and it felt so good - *beep*ing great.
I'm not falling for their lies and neither should my fans or Britney's.
I want to be an all round entertainer, I want to act, make films, make albums, do whatever I can.
I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.
There's a theme for each night. Our love of Japan will definitely come through.
"I turned down a part in "Valley Of The Dolls" because it depicted me as a singer and that's the kind of movie I don't want to do. I'd like a role similiar to many of Angelina Jolie's. A little gritty, but interesting to watch."
Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
"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].
Oh my God, you guys, I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever. I'm shaking right now.
Ooh, that was just a little phase (smashing plates to relieve pain). I don't do that any more but it was good fun, a release. I recommend it to everybody. That's as long as you're not hurting anybody. And find a place where you're not going to be in the way of anything. Oh and don't destroy anything valuable that you'll regret later.
I want a bad boy in public, and a pussy cat at home!
I'm thrilled and overjoyed for her and wish her all the best, ... Hope she likes her gift.
In this business, it's often all about hype, record sales, and a crazy schedule of traveling, performances, and it can be easy to get lost in all that.
Don't Explain.
But I'm not falling for their lies and neither should my fans or Britney's.
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.
Genie in a Bottle
"I feel so fortunate to be 22 right now and having three [grammy awards] under my belt, which is amazing.''
It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives.For that I give thanks.
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 priest gave me this cross from back home, which I keep under my pillow sometimes. I'm afraid of the dark, so... it's just as a little bit of protection.
What A Girl Wants.
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.
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!
So I am interested in acting, but offers that have come in are ‘small town girl wants to be a singer, has dreams and aspirations, makes it as a star.’ JLo could pull that off, give it to her.
We are both grown-ups and have the utmost respect for each other personally and professionally. If certain journalists want to throw their integrity out the window by spreading false information, then so be it.
I think everybody should have a great Wonderbra. There's so many ways to enhance them, everybody does it.
It's really sad to see that some tabloid magazines still have to manufacture ill will between Britney and me, ...

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?
It's really sad to see that some tabloid magazines still have to manufacture ill will between Britney and me.
It [The Mickey Mouse Club] was a great way to grow up. I loved being around kids who had the same passions I did.
"People betrayed me and I had a really hard time. That, along with what I'd been through with my family and my father and hard times at school meant I was knocked down. It was too much and I felt I'd been through the wringer - I was like a punchbag. I think talking to people is important and my family have helped me through it. I'd definitely be open to going to a therapist. I went when I was younger. But making this record ('Stripped') has been therapeutic. It's a tough record, it's personal and it's made me feel vulnerable. It's honest. Emotionally I've laid myself bare - it's what's in my heart. I've been writing a lot of poems and I wanted to disappear from the public eye and live life for a minute. I didn't want to play it safe.”
I wasn't expecting it [Grammy]... I'm such a newcomer among all these people.
I'm always nervous before I go on stage, but once I'm out there everything is great and it's my favorite place to be.
The schedule is crazy - it's all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It's a crazy lifestyle, it really is.
Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl.
I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
I’ve been offered a lot but I want to stay away from romance, comedies and fluffy work. I met Stephen Spielberg at a breast cancer benefit and he explained that he’d seen me on Saturday Night Live and thought I was ready for a movie. He said, ‘You go to the ledge and are unafraid to jump off.’ That was the biggest compliment to me because he was saying I was free.
Saturday Night Live was fun, really really fun. The changing lady was so quick, she almost tore my arm off after the opening monolouge.
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.
