"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!"


"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 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."


"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."


"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."


"I think everybody should have a great Wonderbra. There's so many ways to enhance them, everybody does it."


"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."


"I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures."


"I'm not just another bimbo."


"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."


"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."


"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."


"It's frustrating always being compared to Britney because we are two very different artists... We both dance and sing but people have not yet had enough time to realise that there is a huge difference between us. If she wants to go and do something, I'll want to do the opposite."


"My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires."


"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."


"Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth."


"So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?"


"The roughest road often leads to the top."


"The schedule is crazy - it's all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It's a crazy lifestyle, it really is."


"Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America."
