Quote

“People are always wanting to know every detail about where I go, and I always have to have bodyguards with me...It’s sometimes like they’re insinuating that I can’t do things on my own, and it’s like, I can! I know they mean well, but I don’t like people treating me like a little girl.”

“...when I was younger, I was never really insecure. At all. Never. Now I get insecure sometimes when I go places because people expect celebrities to look a certain way. And there are mornings I wake up and my butt feels fat. But I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you. You just…be. All I can do is be who I am and hope people like that.”

“I think it’s not that deep..I like wearing those clothes. I like, when I’m onstage, to be an entertainer...If the song calls for me to wear something a little voluptuous or ****, I like to go there.”

"I think the body’s a beautiful thing, and you should not hide yourself. If you feel like wearing something that makes you feel good about you, and you want to wear a push-up bra, I say, ‘Go for it...You should be proud of your sexuality... I don’t like being a role model. I’m not perfect, I’m human, just like everybody else. Everybody’s got an opinion about you, but the only one that matters is your own.”

These times were so good. Minus the deaths rip

She used to be so good with words. Now she would just say the outfits are cool. 

I think she opened herself too much and made herself vulnerable, and was hurt in the process. And then retreated. Relatable.

 

It’s interesting, they say in times of crisis or struggles, the entertainment and pop culture tends to thrive. Do you think this was happening?

She was everywhere back then. Bigger than any pop star that came after her. The only person who’s come that close was definitely Gaga. Or JB. 

what’s crazy to me, i feel like the thing with Britney back then, at the height of her mega stardom, was the amount of controversy and hate surrounding her persona. Britney was no doubt adored all over the world, but she was also hated by so many. People either loved her or hated her, and everyone had strong feelings towards her. She was the most sought after person on the planet! People projected all sorts of insane expectations and ideas onto her.
