I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down!

I thought I knew who you were, but I see now you were a lesson to learn, and all I am to you now is a bridge that’s been burned.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

Call me a slag. If it means being a strong woman, I'll gladly be that.

Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.

Becoming a mother has helped me to realize who I am aside from my career.
