Christina Aguilera

Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women. ”

People don't always want to have females as leaders. ”

The most vulnerable people have tough exteriors because they are very scared inside, and it's very hard for people like that - people like me - to open up. But playing it safe means you stop being open to learning. I always try to find the challenges. ”

I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B. ”

Target is one of the best at really listening to the artist and understanding what they are about. ”

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past. ”

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt. ”

When I'm traveling on tour, one of my favorite things to do is to throw a baseball cap on and go to a Target. The company has always been good to me. They've got such a great creative team. ”

I was never into the boy crazy thing because I was very focused on my career. ”

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend. ”
