Everybody needs that one person that takes you to the right place to see all the positives in your life.

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 will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.

I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

I felt caged by my childhood.

I've always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels.

I feel things deeply.

I don't think there is such a thing as being too raunchy when it comes to the art form of burlesque.

My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.

I was never into the boy crazy thing because I was very focused on my career.

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

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.

When you're young, it's so easy to get bull-dozed.

I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.

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

I love my body.

I don't think I could ever really be with a woman because that's a lot of... Yeah, there's a lot of estrogen and I'm a lot to deal with when it's that time of the month, so I can't imagine it times two.

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

I feel so fortunate.

I do reinvent old hits of mine and sort of give them a new life.

I really don't spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

Toward the end of my pregnancy, I felt really big - I gained about 40 pounds, which is a lot for my size.

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

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

I stray away from formulaic, the formatted.

When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?

I'm a businesswoman.

I don't want to believe my own hype.

I'm one that likes to collaborate.

I have certain physical features that I favor over others. We all have our areas.

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

I really love traveling to Japan.

I like to be as free as possible at all times.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

I have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.

The road is a lot of work.

I didn't want to do something that was easy for me.

I'm at peace.

It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.

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

I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl.

I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing.

There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.
