Christina Milian
I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.
Still, to this day I go back and listen to music that inspires me to write now.
I have two sisters, so there is the three of us, and we're very close. We've been best friends since I pronounced it when I was ten and they were four and five.
I go in full with my heart.
I'm very passionate, and I care about the people that are around me.
Women, we're all coming together.
At 18, I finally came into a relationship with a record label. My family got back on its feet. I was happy.
I'm here to save someone. I really want to help other people, especially the youth.
I know that my dad not being in my life made a huge impact on me.
My mom was a cheerleader and had me as a teenager. I remember her giving me some pom-poms and teaching me how to do some splits when I was 3 or 4.
I've got Christian Louboutin' s 6 1/4-inch Equestria boots. I wear them so much, I turned the red bottoms brown!
Channing Tatum. He's a cutie-pie, but he's also got swag. Before him, my crush was Brad Pitt forever!
That's the greatest thing: an experience you can grow from.
I'm more vocal about my ideas in person and music.
I've always felt a certain guilt to have them labeled as 'Christina's sisters' or, 'That's Christina's mom' but them looking for the respect to be named Elizabeth and Danielle and Carmen.
You bring your children onto this earth thinking, 'Okay, I want to make sure that by that time, I'm gonna be good and that they'll be okay.' But it's like, every day we're worried, 'Are we gonna be good?' Things change constantly, so you just gotta push, and you gotta work to the core.
I love 'Latina'! You guys have always been so supportive of me and my career. Now I have my family, and it's just awesome.
The new idea for me now is creativity. I like to express myself.
Everything inspires me, but when it comes to chemistry, and when it comes to the ups and downs of relationships, that's what's real for people.
When I go home, I still have to clean my room; I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.
I make a lot of my own clothes. I don't like wearing the same thing everybody else wears.
I'm not too hard on myself about dieting and exercise. Some stars are a little too bony for me. What happened to the booty?
Lil Wayne and I are really close. We have a really close, personal relationship, and I really like him a lot. We have a great chemistry.
I'm a fan of Rihanna. I have all her albums. I love her music; she's a great performer. We've both gone on to great things. It's all love.
This pro football player once sent me 100 teddy bears, asking me to fly to one of his games and go to dinner. I didn't do it - it was just too weird.
Since high school, I've always been super into photography. I event went to Valley College for photography.
Women need each other. Be there for each other, and don't feel threatened.
I really stay away from products that are not silicon-based, and I really stay away from parabens.
I do my best to use all-natural type of products. I find that Perricone has really nice face cream. I find they have good facial products. Whenever I have a pimple, their products clear them up and make my skin nice and clean. Also, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream.
The only thing that I stress out about is, how am I going to make sure that I balance out my time for motherhood?
When it comes to brands and having the opportunity to be an entrepreneur, social media has really become a great outlet for people to become their own boss.
I think chatbots are the future of engagement between a fan and a brand or celebrity.
I've always loved Jennifer Lopez, and I think, as an entertainer, she is a great example of a strong woman that is also very levelheaded and cool and produces her own content.
I make a great lasagna. I also like making piccadillo. It's a Cuban dish with ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic and olives served over rice, with plantains. My ex-husband and all my boyfriends love it.
I have had fear in the past, yes. I've learned to fight it. But I still have my moments. I just have to remind myself that fear is all within your mind, and that you're only holding yourself back when you give in to it. Even fear of success can be scary.
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It's not funny. It's not for the movies.
When you have something special, it's like everybody picks apart words. They'll pick apart a moment in a picture and take something that's special and trash it.
I'm not afraid to blame myself for any of my own faults or just to analyze things in a different way, but I don't overanalyze, either.
If you want to page me, It's OK! I've actually had guys tell me they were fans from the 'Kim Possible' days. And I've met people who still have the 'Kim Possible' theme song as their ringtone.
My real last name is Flores, and Milian is actually my mom's maiden name. So it's not made up, which is cool; it runs in the family. And it actually worked out better for my career to have the last name Milian, because Flores kept me in a little box, and no one really associated me with the last name Flores.
I'm up all night, and then next thing you know, it's the morning, and I'll sleep, like, three hours. I'm a night owl. I'm usually in the studio at night working, and then I get home, I'm on my phone looking at Instagram pictures and buying stuff.
I was definitely a 'Full House' fan.
Working with John Stamos is a ton of fun. He's just the biggest sweetheart - and he's just still gorgeous as can be. Such a hottie!
I've been a fan of 'Rocky Horror'... my mom let me see it at a really early age.
It takes a big man and a big woman to actually say, like, 'Okay, I'm in love with you, but I can't keep forcing it - it's only pushing us apart'.
The most challenging part of playing Magenta was knowing that there have been so many great Magentas before me, including Patricia Quinn in the original 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'.
I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
I have always been a multitasker when it comes to my career; I've been an actress, a singer and everything because I love to do what I do.
As a mom, that's at the forefront of everything in my mind, so I'm always trying to balance, whether it's bringing Violet to work or, the second I am done working, getting home to her.
