- I don't understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I'm interested in someone,
and I don't want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I'm not interested in that person.

- I want to be an artist that everyone can relate to, that's young, happy and fun.

- What's the big deal? I have really strong morals, and just because
I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn't mean I'm a naughty girl.
I'd do it again. I thought the pictures were fine. And I was tired of being compared to Debbie Gibson and all of this bubblegum pop all the time.

- My first time on stage was nerve-wracking. I was so scared that I was going to forget my dance steps or the words to the songs.

- It's all thanks to my Irish fans and club DJs in Ireland that I'm where I am today.

- Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.

- I went to a psychoanalyst. He explained things about my love life that I found very impressive... almost scary.
He said I had a problem with closeness and intimacy... that I was afraid of letting myself fall for someone and of being hurt.

- Ever since I was a baby, I was performing. I was always singing to the radio and dancing around the room all the time.

- I always call my cousin because we're so close. We're almost like sisters, and we're also close because our moms are sisters.

- Christina Aguilera and I are friends no matter what the media makes up.

- I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too.
