I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.

I was very pushed to look a certain way and act a certain way, and it wasn't me, but I played by their rules to get my foot in the door.

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

I just kick off my shoes, walk around barefoot, I don't care if my feet get dirty.

Don't let anything morph you or push you around or have you be something you're not.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

I wouldn't feel right wearing clothes covering my body.
