Christina Aguilera

I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body. ”

I have spoken honestly about being born into a home where there was discord and chaos. I saw my mom have a rough time with my dad being very controlling, which is why I push back whenever I feel like someone is trying to box me in. It makes me run for the hills. ”

I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl. ”

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace. ”

I stray away from formulaic, the formatted. ”

My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing. ”

I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background. ”

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl. ”

Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. ”

Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way. ”
