CHRISTINA AGUILERA QUOTES
American singer and actress (1980- )
At a really early age I connected with old soul and blues. My grandma used to take me to little record stores around Pittsburgh and buy me old records. I was 6, and I'd sing the songs at block parties. My grandma would get a kick out of hearing me do material that was far beyond my years. I was known around the neighborhood as the little girl with the big voice, and I always liked that contrast.

For me, my voice and music was always an outlet. Growing up in an unstable environment and whatnot, music was my only real escape.

The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.

"Candyman"
Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature / Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces / Emergency, heartbeat increases / Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning.

"Lotus Intro"
I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say. That goes against everything I sing on my records. I have to be myself.

When I try to describe how I feel when you hold me, I get butterflies, I hear lullabies, it's hard to explain -- like the scent of a rose or the sound of the rain. It's too precious and too wonderful to give it a name.

"Too Beautiful For Words"
Being a working mother is not easy, but I think it helps you choose what's important in your life. If I think about starting a new project--whether it be music, a movie or a fragrance--I always stop and think: Is this something I feel really passionate about? That way, if I'm not at home at least it's for something I really love, and my son can look up to that.

For me the visual is just as important as the music. I would never record without my red lipstick. It was my way of getting into character, sort of like Method singing.

I laugh a lot lately. People expect me to cry, but I always laugh when things go wrong.

When you have a specific vision for something, you just go in and attack it.

During that Grammy moment, when I nearly collapsed, I was thinking, Are you kidding me? I've always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels. Note to self: Never wear a train onstage.

People who see an unhappy, sulky pop star assume that she's an ungrateful, self-absorbed little ninny. But nobody knows what's really going on. I need to eat, I need to sleep, and sometimes those things weren't considered. It was like, "When do you think I'll have time to go to the bathroom?" That wasn't on the schedule.

When there's no one else look inside yourself -- like your oldest friend -- just trust the voice within -- then you'll find the strength that will guide your way. You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within.

"A Voice Within"
It's so weird to say this about the icon and legend that is Cher, but she's like an old girlfriend. We still talk all the time. She's an incredible person personally and professionally, giving such amazing advice, stories for days, been there done that. She's one of a kind.

I've never watched an entire episode of American Idol. It's too mean. Why would anyone want to go on a show to be ripped apart? I don't want to be tough with my singers, but I do want to tell them on The Voice that if you really want this, you'll be kicked when you're down. You have to be willing to roll with those punches. You have to really want it.

Why is a woman's sexuality always under so much scrutiny? Why can't she do exactly what she please without being called a million things?

"Still Dirty"
If you are a woman and you're assertive and you want to get the job done, you're a bitch. If you're a guy, you're just assertive.
