Quotes

  • There is no truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for [Britney Spears] and vice versa. I am proud of all the achievements she has made in her career, she is a very hard-working person. I have nothing but love for her.
  • [on Eminem's lyrics in "The Real Slim Shady" which contained sexual references about her] It's disgusting and offensive and above all it's not true.
  • [on singing the remake of "Lady Marmalade" with P!nk, Mya and Lil' Kim] It's the closest I ever got to being in a girl group.
  • I like to be edgy, I like to be different. I'm a little bit of rebel.
  • [After winning an MTV Award for the video, "Lady Marmalade", shared with singers Mya, P!nk and Lil' Kim] The big hair paid off!
