People betrayed me and I had a really hard time. That, along with what I'd been through with my family and my father and hard times at school meant I was knocked down. It was too much and I felt I'd been through the wringer - I was like a punchbag. I think talking to people is important and my family have helped me through it. I'd definitely be open to going to a therapist. I went when I was younger. But making this record ('Stripped') has been therapeutic. It's a tough record, it's personal and it's made me feel vulnerable. It's honest. Emotionally I've laid myself bare - it's what's in my heart. I've been writing a lot of poems and I wanted to disappear from the public eye and live life for a minute. I didn't want to play it safe.”
It was a really hard time. Anything just set me off...I almost wanted to, you know, hurt myself. And it was the first time I'd ever had thoughts like that. I have a lot of pain and anger.
It can be hard in this business, especially when you're very young, to figure out who you can and can't trust.
It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But, it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already, you will quickly learn who your real friends are.
I'm a hard worker and I really give to my fans through my shows.
There is no truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for [Britney Spears] and vice versa. I am proud of all the achievements she has made in her career, she is a very hard-working person. I have nothing but love for her.
I'm thrilled and overjoyed for her and wish her all the best, ... Hope she likes her gift.
It's really sad to see that some tabloid magazines still have to manufacture ill will between Britney and me.
I'm getting a trainer. But not to lose anything, because I like being a little thicker!
I'm not falling for their lies and neither should my fans or Britney's.
Oh my God, you guys, I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever. I'm shaking right now.
I turned down a part in ""Valley Of The Dolls"" because it depicted me as a singer and that's the kind of movie I don't want to do. I'd like a role similiar to many of Angelina Jolie's. A little gritty, but interesting to watch.
We are both grown-ups and have the utmost respect for each other personally and professionally. If certain journalists want to throw their integrity out the window by spreading false information, then so be it.
What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending...we gotta let ourselves be.
