Christina Aguilera

I'm a smart girl.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

I hate working out - I have to mentally push myself through it. I can get very whiny saying things like 'I can't do it!'

I'm not a judgmental person so I can't comment on someone else's background.

I love color - I'm not a beige kind of girl.

Sometimes you just know what you're placed on this earth to do.

I was known as the little girl with the big voice.

I'm a lucky 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.

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending... we gotta let ourselves be.

The most successful people I've worked with like the Rolling Stones - people of a different kind of legendary caliber - have such great warm energy.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

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

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

Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.

Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.

I think they say that when you're breast feeding you know your weight kind of slims down. It's a little easier. It's like a workout within itself. It's very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.

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

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.

People expect me to cry but I always laugh when things go wrong.
