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

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.

I really love traveling to Japan.

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

Etta James is my all-time favorite singer. I've said it in every interview, in every story, in every on- and off-camera question. That music was always such a huge escape for me, even from a young age.

Now everyone is a critic.

I'm an artist, and expressing myself in a sexual way, no matter how that changes throughout the years, is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.
