When you're seventeen years old, green and inexperienced, you're grateful for any guidance and direction you can get.

After all you've put me through, you would think I despise you, but in the end I want to thank you because you made me that much stronger.

When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?

For a shield from the storm, for a friend, for a love to keep me safe and warm...I turn to you. For the strength to be strong, for the will to carry on...for everything you do, for everything thats true, I turn to you.

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

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

My emotions overload because there is no hand to hold, there’s no shoulder here to lean on; I’m walking all on my own.
