Britney Spears

Onstage I'm the happiest person in the world.

I like to work out. I like a routine. I'm kind of simple. I eat almost the same thing every day. I like Caesar salad.

I think it's an okay thing to express yourself.

If you love yourself it will all work out.

I want to wait to have sex until I'm married.

When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.

I'm more straightforward, and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.

Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who've experienced that. You know, Justin Bieber, he's huge, and he experiences that. It's just the way the world works, unfortunately.

When you tour, it's so hard on the body. Being in one place is cool. It's a more stable environment.

I go through life like a Karate Kid.

I know not everyone will like me, but this is who I am so if you don't like it, tough!

Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them.

Its almost like its my alter ego when I get on stage... I turn into this different person seriously. Bipolar disorder. Im tired of everybody touching me and things being plugged into my head.

I'm rich, freakin' rich. It's crazy.

To be honest, I wish I had more mom friends.

If I was to pick a cartoon character I am most like, I would say Daisy Duck because she is very stubborn, she has a very feminine sense, and she knows what she likes.

I guess it's because I do have a younger audience that, you know, parents worry about the role model thing. But when I was younger, I looked up to people, but I never wanted to be them. I always had my own identity. I'm an entertainer when I'm on stage, and they need to explain that to their kids. That's not my job to do that.

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

I love ponytails. I'm a wash-and-go girl.

I always call my cousin because were so close. Were almost like sisters and were also close because our moms are sisters.

I did not have implants, I just had a growth spurt.

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

Marry Prince William? I'd love that. Who wouldn't want to be a princess?

Honestly, I still don't use my computer. My kids use the computer more than I do! I understand that a lot of people are into it, and I have days where I write and stuff, but it's really not for me. It's not my thing.

With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt... because love is an amazing feeling.

I've been very hands-on with everything I've done since I had my children. And it's just really important for me to understand the big picture, where everybody's coming from, what's the real purpose of this shoot and this song, or whatever it is in that moment that I'm doing.

Never doubt yourself. Never change who you are. Dont care what people think and just go for it.

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

I dress the way I want. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not.

I still have a lot to learn - about the business, about music, and about myself. Its exciting.

The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.

I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like eating fish.

I need to do psychology classes. That would be so interesting to me, studying people.

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 have my relationship with God and myself, and that's what matters to me. I really don't care what most people think.

I'm a hometown girl, and my personality at home is the opposite of the performer in me. But then, when I'm home and haven't done anything for a while, I get really itchy and nervous and weird-feeling.

When I'm under stress, I do yoga. It's when I'm happiest that I have a problem with junk food.

Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy!

Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn't mean I'm naughty.

I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore.

When things take a long time, I just get really stubborn.

Vegas is definitely a new challenge, but I wanted to be able to put on a different type of show. You get to do so much more when you don't have to put your stage in trucks after the show every night - we got to build a venue specifically for my show. It's going to be more like a party than a typical concert.

As a mom, you have all these situations you go through, and you're like, 'What is going on? Is this normal? Is this a phase? Or what is this?' and then you feel silly for asking questions because you think, 'I'm a mom - I'm supposed to know these things,' but you don't.

I went to a psychoanalyst. He explained things about my love life that I found very impressive... almost scary.

I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.

With love you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling.

I don't want people kissing my butt. If I had a bad show and I know it, don't tell me I had a good show. I hate that. I guess because I'm 17, people think I don't see stuff like that.

When you go through heartbreak, you just do the things that get you by. Eventually, you realise it's about making the most of life.

I love Jessica Simpson. I love her voice. She's amazing.

I don't want to pierce anything. I think it's outdated. Belly rings and all are, like, old.

Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It's the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin' on and stealing our music.

I find it so funny that people find me so interesting.

I'm very boring. I'm a mom. I'm 34 years old.

Don't treat me like a little girl.

Traveling around the world is really strenuous for me, being in a different bed every night, flying and everything.

I like meeting all my fans and signing autographs, although it can all get a bit crazy. Yesterday, for example, a boy just came over and planted a big kiss on my face! I was like, 'Hello?'

Justin Timberlake is everything, and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me, and that's cool.

I don't really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won't forget it.

I don't like defining myself. I just am.

You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep. I'm so excited, I'm in too deep.

I would like to be called an inspiration to people, not a role model - because I make mistakes like everybody else. When I'm offstage, I'm just like everybody else.

I don't like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people.

When you're comfortable with someone you love, the silence is the best. And, that's how me and J. are. When we're in a room together, we don't have to say anything. It's for real.

I don't allow anybody to change me. I still walk outta my house in rollers and I take walks. I do not care what people think.

I think with anybody who's doing well in the public eye or whatever, there's always gonna be a shift because people don't wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they're gonna try to take shots at people.

I can't go anywhere without someone judging me.

I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway, and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

I always wanted to be a singer, it's what I wanted to do since I was little. I'm doing it now and I couldn't be happier.

Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.

Everything happens for a reason.

It's no secret I'm a shy person.

For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn't about conquering something; it's being happy with who you are.

I'm still the same person I've always been.

I'm like everybody else.

With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling.

I go out with friends, but I don't have time to get in trouble.

I'm all about thoughtful gifts. If you put thought behind it - it could be $5 - but if there's thought behind it, I think that's what matters.

It's in my blood to perform.

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

My house is very traditional. And I love 'shabby chic.' It's a very homey-cosy vibe. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, actually; maybe my kids will be doing their homework or that kind of thing when they get home from school. I love my kitchen.

I'm attracted to guys who are really confident and make conversation.

Seriously, I have the best fans ever.

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.

I'm pretty normal, you know?

I'm so happy to be able to give kids the opportunity to learn about amazing world of dance and music that I've have been lucky enough to make such a big part of my own life.
