I work with a lot of different charities, and by that I don't mean merely by giving money, but by really getting involved hands-on. I've always said that one of the reasons why I was put on this Earth was to help people. That's something I've always enjoyed both here in America and if I have the opportunity when I'm traveling out of the country. For example, I like to visit orphanages to spend time with the children. That's very important to me.

If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant.

You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.

Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.

I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.

Tie me up, tie me down, make me moan real loud.
