Some people out there think everything I do is a publicity stunt, they think when I go to the bathroom it's a publicity stunt.

I hadn't been onstage in a while. The last time was pre-children. And before I went on [at Roseland], my kids were backstage, and I thought, This isn't how I usually do it. I've got kids, and I'm thinking, This is weird. It's weird juggling children on your knee while you're in your rhinestone outfit. And I'm thinking, Okay, I'm gonna go out and do a show and I'm gonna be Superwoman! But I'm not really, `cause I'm a mom. It's all very strange.

I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it, Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it...

Dress like Britney Spears and think like me, and everything will be fine.

You took a pretty picture and you smashed it into bits, sank me into blackness and you sealed it with a kiss.

I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
