""There is not truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for Britney 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."
"It's disgusting and offensive and above all it's not true." - about Eminem's lyrics in "The Real Slim Shady" which contained sexual references about her
"It's the closest I ever got to being in a girl group." - about singing the remake of "Lady Marmalade" with Pink, Mya and Lil Kim.
"I like to be edgy, I like to be different. I'm a little bit of rebel."
"The big hair paid off!" (after winning an MTV Award for the video "Lady Marmalade, shared with singers Mya, Pink, and Lil' Kim)
"It's funny how society places such strict standards upon young blonde females. We're supposed to play the clean-cut view the public wants of us. But I am not your little cookie-cutter virgin."
"It's human nature to have a sexual side."
"I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down! The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not dis other women for being proud of theirs!"
"You can take it or leave it, but I'm not going to change, not for anyone."
"It's been quite a roller-coaster ride, But I think I've grown and learned a lot about myself. 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. But for me, the greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch peoples' lives. I know that's a greater accomplishment than selling records. For that I give thanks. I simply love the job I'm doing."
"Hold your head high and sway your hips when you walk!"
"Power is making a statement about who you are."
My parents 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 woundn't necessarily have had otherwise.
"I have grown up now and have no need to dress like that anymore. I want my music to speak for me rather than the dress or lack of dresses I wore."
"Confidence is the hugest thing - once you exude that, guys catch on."
"It is such a hush-hush topic because it happens in the home. I definitely wrote that song not to badmouth him at all, but one, for a healing process for myself, and two, to give people hope or a voice to relate to. To know that you can get through it and that it will be OK." - On why she wrote the song 'I'm OK', which is her take on her father Fausto Aguilera's abusive behavior before her parents separated.
"Be a strong female - don't be afraid of the flack that goes along with that."
