I don't want to believe my own hype. I want to stay hungry and stay eager and be the best that I can be.

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

That's why I wrote 'Fighter'. I have that need in me to help people. I am all about the underdog.

I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.

I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.

The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.

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.
