"I want to be an all round entertainer, I want to act, make films, make albums, do whatever I can."

"Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America."

"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."

"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."

"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 always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school."

"Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl."

"So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?"

"I'm a risk taker and I've always been like that, especially when it comes to fashion."

"It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks."

"I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures."

"Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth."

"The roughest road often leads to the top."

"Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend."
