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 think that I naturally just gravitated towards music that I could really feel on a deep level - and that meant sadness. I was able to connect with that at a really young age.
I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.
Let's get glam. It's all in the way you move. Let's get glam. Don't let the clothes wear you. Let's get glam. It's all an attitude.
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.
There is no truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for [Britney Spears] and vice versa. I am proud of all the achievements she has made in her career, she is a very hard-working person. I have nothing but love for her.
People who see an unhappy, sulky pop star assume that she's an ungrateful, self-absorbed little ninny. But nobody knows what's really going on. I need to eat, I need to sleep, and sometimes those things weren't considered. It was like, "When do you think I'll have time to go to the bathroom?" That wasn't on the schedule.
That overachieving, ambitious, nobody-can-hold-me-down attitude I had, which came from a place of anger and aggression, has transformed into feeling like I will take on the world, but I will do it with an embrace, rather than with my dukes up.
I like to be as free as possible at all times.
My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.
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.
It can be hard in this business, especially when you're very young, to figure out who you can and can't trust.
When you're unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer.
I always wanted to have my own album recorded and released before I graduated high school.
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.
