Christina Aguilera

To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. ”

I have always been one to encourage perseverance. ”

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. ”

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

My son is healthy and happy, so that's all that matters to me. ”

I'm at peace. ”

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. ”

I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing. ”

I am a woman who has my extreme vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak. ”

It can be hard in this business, especially when you're very young, to figure out who you can and can't trust. ”
