Christina Milian

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there. ”

My 'Chili Palmer' was my mother. Her name is Carmen Milian, and she's my manager. Before getting into music, we actually educated ourselves, and I went to college for music as a business and learned the business side, and she read a lot of books. ”

Even if I am just sleeping with her or just watching cartoons in bed, I know Violet values that. I try to make the most of every moment and just make it special with her, because its what matters to me most. ”

I've always loved 'Umbrella.' Funny enough, my ex-husband wrote that, and I'm not saying it was meant for me or anything - people will start twisting this - it is Rihanna's song! But I've always loved it. ”

Well, Tommy Lee Jones is a little bit more intimidating. He's definitely a cowboy. He's from Texas. ”

I am also a hard worker and people are sometimes surprised to see that as well. ”

I'm not too hard on myself about dieting and exercise. Some stars are a little too bony for me. What happened to the booty? ”

You bring your children onto this earth thinking, 'Okay, I want to make sure that by that time, I'm gonna be good and that they'll be okay.' But it's like, every day we're worried, 'Are we gonna be good?' Things change constantly, so you just gotta push, and you gotta work to the core. ”

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful. ”

F. Gary Gray, I think, is one of the best directors I've ever worked with in my life, and I'd love to work with him again. ”
