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.”
In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.
I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.
My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
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.
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!
