Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.Collection: Trust
I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.Collection: Courage
I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.Collection: Anger
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.Collection: God
I love theatrics and have a huge imagination: Why would I want to sit onstage and sing a bunch of ballads back-to-back?Collection: Imagination
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.Collection: Thankful
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.Collection: Dreams
The most vulnerable people have tough exteriors because they are very scared inside, and it's very hard for people like that - people like me - to open up. But playing it safe means you stop being open to learning. I always try to find the challenges.Collection: Learning
You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.Collection: Technology

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?Collection: Funny
I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.
I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.
The roughest road often leads to the top.
I should not have to prove my ethnicity to anyone. I know who I am.
I have fun being sexy and tough at the same time.
Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.
Red lips and fragrance always top off an outfit for me.
We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.
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.
I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.
Target is one of the best at really listening to the artist and understanding what they are about.
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 have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.
I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.
I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.
When success comes, people can try to trick you or take advantage of you.
I have always been one to encourage perseverance.
I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.
I never mind contorting myself for a good cause.
I think you can really gauge my state of mind by listening to my albums.
The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.
The road is a lot of work.
I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.
I'm a risk taker and I've always been like that, especially when it comes to fashion.
I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.
I'm a big micro manager; I'm a stickler about organisation; everything needs a place, a purpose, and micro managing myself even when I'm in the studio.
I think everybody should have a great Wonderbra. There's so many ways to enhance them, everybody does it.
Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl.
Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
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'm not just another bimbo.
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'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.
What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending... we gotta let ourselves be.
