My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.
Becoming a mother has helped me to realize who I am aside from my career.
Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.
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.
My future daughter is not going to go through what I did.
Hurt me to see the pain across my mothers face, every time my father's fist would put her in her place.
I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.
Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.
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.
I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever, ... Thank you so, so much.
Saturday Night Live was fun, really really fun. The changing lady was so quick, she almost tore my arm off after the opening monolouge.
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.”
Britney and I show a little tummy and it's like, 'Oh My God.' But N'Sync or Backstreet Boys will do repeated pelvic thrusts to an audience of pre-pubescent girls and nobody says anything!
I was in a weird head space, I was not myself, for sure. I was kind of running around, crazy, experiencing things for the first time. That was the first time I had really broken things, and it felt so good - *beep*ing great.
