With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling.
Britney Spears
Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn't mean I'm naughty.
I'm still the same person I've always been.
I've always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find that inspiring. I hope that is the effect I have on my fans and people in general. I definitely want to project a positive energy out into the world.
I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too.
For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn't about conquering something; it's being happy with who you are.
I go through life like a Karate Kid.
If I was to pick a cartoon character I am most like, I would say Daisy Duck because she is very stubborn, she has a very feminine sense, and she knows what she likes.
The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.
I don't like defining myself. I just am.
I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore.
I dress the way I want. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not.
I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like eating fish.
I think it's an okay thing to express yourself.
I can't go anywhere without someone judging me.
I love ponytails. I'm a wash-and-go girl.
I know not everyone will like me, but this is who I am so if you don't like it, tough!
I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.
I have my relationship with God and myself, and that's what matters to me. I really don't care what most people think.
Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them.
I'm more straightforward, and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.
I went to a psychoanalyst. He explained things about my love life that I found very impressive... almost scary.
In my off-time, I do record. Once in a while, I'll just go into the studio if there's a really good song that I have in my head and want to do. I think, as artists, you're constantly in creative motion. If I stopped writing songs, then that's a part of me that would stop in my life, and I need constant motion.
I don't want people kissing my butt. If I had a bad show and I know it, don't tell me I had a good show. I hate that. I guess because I'm 17, people think I don't see stuff like that.
When I'm under stress, I do yoga. It's when I'm happiest that I have a problem with junk food.
I'm so happy to be able to give kids the opportunity to learn about amazing world of dance and music that I've have been lucky enough to make such a big part of my own life.
I did not have implants, I just had a growth spurt.
Everything happens for a reason.
I would like to be called an inspiration to people, not a role model - because I make mistakes like everybody else. When I'm offstage, I'm just like everybody else.
It's in my blood to perform.
It's no secret I'm a shy person.
Vegas is definitely a new challenge, but I wanted to be able to put on a different type of show. You get to do so much more when you don't have to put your stage in trucks after the show every night - we got to build a venue specifically for my show. It's going to be more like a party than a typical concert.
I always wanted to be a singer, it's what I wanted to do since I was little. I'm doing it now and I couldn't be happier.
I'm like everybody else.
When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.
I'm into the food in Vegas. I'm willing to go to nice restaurants for sushi and stuff like that.
We have a nanny in the house, but there are always times when one of my kids does something bad or wrong, and they'll listen to me more than they do the nanny. So I think it's important to set up that boundary of respect for them at a young age, so they will know, 'I better listen to Mommy.'
To be honest, I wish I had more mom friends.
I love my gay fans. Gay people are always usually my best friends in the whole world. I completely adore them.
I'm pretty normal, you know?
I go out with friends, but I don't have time to get in trouble.
I would love to act. I would love to do movies. If it was the right part, it would be really cool... I love funny movies.
Christina Aguilera and I are friends no matter what the media makes up.
I still have a lot to learn - about the business, about music, and about myself. Its exciting.
I don't want to pierce anything. I think it's outdated. Belly rings and all are, like, old.
I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway, and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me.
If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I'd probably move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There's no traffic like there is in L.A. It's really nice.
Justin Timberlake is everything, and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me, and that's cool.
Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.
I don't like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people.
