On her girlfriends:
"I think I realized they were as important — if not more important — when I divorced Marc. I just realized that I had been through that a couple of times and there they still were. Like they say, 'Men come and go, but my girlfriends are always there for me.'"
On the early days of her career:
"I learned a lot from that time in my life. I did overstretch myself. I can handle it better because I go, 'No, I'm not going to work on that day,' or 'No, I am going to take those three days off,' or, 'No, you cannot schedule [that] there.' And you realize the sky is not going to fall, even though everybody makes you feel like it's going to."
On her Booty music video:
"I wanted it to be beautiful and sexy, not sexy and raunchy. Sometimes when you're younger, you go for raunch, or shock value, but I don't need to do that. I did sexy things but I was always more the good girl who was falling in love as opposed to the naughty girl who was running around."
