Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.

People don't always want to have females as leaders.

I really love traveling to Japan.

If I was having a bad day, or if something was really getting me down -- boy troubles, whatever -- I wanted to go out and get a new piercing. It was definitely a release for me. Something that made me feel a little more strong or empowered. Because it was something that had to do with me and no one else.

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

When I'm lost in the rain, In your eyes I know I'll find the light to light my way And when I'm scared, losing ground When my world is going crazy You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there Pushing me to the top You're always there, giving me all you've got

In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.
