I'm a hard worker and I really give to my fans through my shows.

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

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.

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

Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it just motivates you for what's next.

A lot of people are afraid to face themselves, especially when something goes wrong. But that's important, because if something happens within a relationship, it could be how you're allowing someone else to treat you.

Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl.
