Britney Spears Quotes

• [Mother’s Day thought to her children Jayden and Preston, 2016] God always comes to us in tiny whispers. I pray you always find his whisper and follow your inner voice as well.
• A lot of my hairstylists and my beauty team that I work with are gay so I hang out with gays a lot and I just think they’re adorable and hilarious.
• [on her gay fans] I get inspiration from them on all my songs. They’re somewhat girls, so it’s inspiring to do stuff that they like to hear, like the cool “in” stuff. Whatever I do for each record is definitely inspired by them.
• I think you know when you’ve met the right person.
• Don’t care too much ’bout what other people think. What really matters is your own point of view.
• [on the idea of retiring] I have thought about it. If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I’d probably move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There’s no traffic like there is in L.A. It’s really nice… I think right now is my time to perform and do what I’m doing.
• My family, we walked around the house naked. By the time I was 13, my dad was like “Uh, Britney, it’s time to start covering yourself up.” I’m very free like that.
• I’ve always been very comfortable being nude. I don’t feel like I have anything to hide.
• These parents, they think I’m a role model for their kids, that their kids look at me as some sort of idol. But it’s the parents’ job to make sure their kids don’t turn out that shallow. That’s not my responsibility. I’m not responsible for your kid.
• It’s the best feeling in the world when I’m on stage and I’m singing and the fans are singing the words with me.
• [on turning 30 in 2011] I hear the older you get, the wiser you get and the more you know what you want. Hopefully it’ll be a good year.
• [on her career after being in the music business for more than a decade] I don’t really have anything to prove at this point. I just do it for fun and see what happens.
• My all time favorite outfit? Probably the school uniform. I think because it was my first video I ever did and the first experience with everything. That’s in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. (She wore the school uniform outfit in her song: Hit Me Baby One More Time).
• (on starting her career as a teenager) I was having fun then, but I would stay true to that, you know? I’m still pretty much the same person I was when I started this, but in the beginning, I think I was fearful. So I’d say, just try to embrace moments more. To have a good time with life and don’t take it too seriously.
• The good thing about being on tour is getting to go overseas to places like Canada.
• I believe that all women can create their own world where they shine the brightest. It’s all about having the power and confidence to be yourself.

• [on her children]: They are my biggest fans. I make up songs and sing to them all the time, they like to watch me dance. In fact, they join in and do their own moves! I couldn’t go on tour without them! I’m always very busy when I’m on the road, but I make sure to have quality time with them every single day.
• I’m at such a different point in my life now than I was back then. You have to think about all your decisions so much more carefully, because they are affecting your kids too. My priorities have changed, and I do everything for [the boys]. They remind me what life is really all about.
• I’m really just a boring homebody who loves staying home with my kids and that’s where I’m the happiest.

• I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa.
• [regarding the policies of President George W. Bush regarding the invasion of Iraq] I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that.

• [on being photographed without panties] Anyway, thank God for Victoria’s Secret’s new underwear line!
• This is my dream come true. I can’t believe this is happening right now. I can’t believe I even have a movie. I feel very blessed to be where I am right now.
• Bottom line: If you love yourself, it will all work out.
• [Justin Timberlake] was my first kiss. We were playing “Truth or Dare” and listening to Janet Jackson. I was 12. His friend dared him to kiss me, so that was my first kiss.
• It feels like I’ve been dreaming this forever and then it happens and it feels like a whirlwind. I’m constantly traveling and I miss my friends.
• Performing is what I like most. I find the studio very confining. You can do a lot in there, and you get the opportunity to try again and again. But on stage you have the adrenalin going and you’ve got one shot and the energy is so intense.
• I’m not the type of person that can be cooped up in the hotel room being served all the time. I can’t deal with that. I’ve got to do normal things.
• I’ve got an amazing group of people around me and my family at home. If I don’t make my bed and wash the dishes at home, I’m in trouble.
• I don’t listen to anybody. Nobody can tell me anything. I’m stubborn. If somebody tells me not to do something, I do it. But I do listen to Madonna. For some reason I listen to her. I know that sounds really silly. It’s nice to have somebody just to ask questions to. She’s a visual artist and a deep artist as well. I like the way she thinks. I wish I could be inside her head. I like Madonna’s career, and what she’s done with her family.
• I can’t sing the same kind of thing all the time. That would bore me.
• Tony Blair? I’ve never heard of him either. Who is he?
• When I look into a mirror, I am very critical of myself. I see a goofy girl.
• As an artist, I would probably go on stage and bump and grind with a dancer. In real life, never.
• If I was to pick a cartoon character I am most like, I would say Daisy Duck, because she is very stubborn, she has a very feminine sense and she knows what she likes.
• [on her breakup with boyfriend Justin Timberlake] The most painful thing I have ever experienced was that breakup. We were together so long and I had this vision. You think you’re going to spend the rest of your life together. Where I come from, the woman is the homemaker, and that’s how I was brought up — you cook for your kids.
• Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It’s the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin’ on and stealing our music.
• I feel like a totally different person than I was two years ago. I feel like so much of my innocence is gone. I’m still me, but this business makes you grow up so fast.
• I suck at flirting. There’s one thing I don’t understand about Hollywood. How they have a relationship, end it, and go right into the next. It’s hard for a woman in this industry. Either the guy’s going to be really intimidated, or they’re going to kiss your ass. I’m just a girl wanting a guy to love me.
• When I’m under stress, I do yoga. It’s when I’m happiest that I have a problem with junk food.
• Selling 5 million records is still good. I don’t want to get jaded thinking I have to sell 10 million every time. It’s not about that.
• Who really cares if I’ve had sex? It’s nobody’s business. Trust me, I’m not going to have a press conference to announce it. If I mess up, I’m human. If I have a drink or I’m with someone, I’m human. I’m no different than anyone else my age.
• How can I explain this? I don’t see myself — hand on the Bible — I know I’m not ugly, but I don’t see myself as a sex symbol or this goddess-attractive beautiful person at all. When I’m on stage, that’s my time to do my thing and go there and be that, and it’s fun. It’s exhilarating just to be something that you’re not. And, people tend to believe it. I guess I just pull it off very well.
• There are so many teenagers out there that dress more provocatively than I do, and no one says anything about them.
• I guess it’s because I do have a younger audience that, you know, parents worry about the role model thing. But when I was younger, I looked up to people, but I never wanted to be them. I always had my own identity. I’m an entertainer when I’m on stage, and they need to explain that to their kids. That’s not my job to do that.
• My views on virginity have not changed. I want to wait to have sex until I’m married. I do. I want to wait, but it’s hard. I just want to live my life.
• [on her visit to the Playboy mansion] All I remember is seeing a bunch of naked girls and thinking, “I got to get out of here.”.
• Acting is so much fun. It is a different ball game and I want to concentrate on that at the moment. I’m really passionate about what I do. I love entertainment and telling stories to people and I am very lucky that I am doing what I want to do.
• [at a German chocolate museum, January 18, 2002] Chocolate for me is just like an orgasm.
• I find it so funny that people find me so interesting. And, I hate when they’re like “Define your image.” I don’t know what my image is. I just do my thing.
• I love Jessica Simpson. I love her voice. She’s amazing. I have her CD, and I have [Christina Aguilera’s] CD. I have all of their CDs. They’re amazing. You know? I have a lot of respect for them. Anybody who can be in this business… the work is so overwhelming sometimes and anybody who can do that I have a lot of respect for.
• I dress the way I want. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not.
• [on recording a song with boyfriend Justin Timberlake for her third album] I have to say I was a little nervous at first. I’m used to producers going in there and it’s like work. And, I go in and I work and I do my vocals and work. And, I thought that it was awkward at first because I was nervous recording with him doing my vocals, but then I just totally forgot that he was my boyfriend, and I just said “Britney, just do the vocals, don’t be nervous, don’t be retarded like this.” But it ended up being fine, actually. At the very end, I got the best vocals I’ve ever done.
• [on the tour to promote her third album [released in November 2001] I really want this to be like shocking and in people’s faces and edgy. It’s just basically, you know, there’s a lot of scrutiny with everything I do. And, it’s basically saying that I’m not a little girl anymore and this is me. And just, you know, I have to do what I have to do for me, and that’s basically the overall scheme of it, yeah.
• [on her relationship with Justin Timberlake during the The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989)] We were, like, 12 or 13 and it was like, “Hi, do you like me?”. It was like puppy love.
• [Her mother Lynne Spears on Britney’s upbringing] I was not a permissive mother at all.
• I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she’s performing, the audience is just in awe of her.
• England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.
• [on fellow pop-princess and former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera] Christina and I are friends no matter what the media makes up.
• Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone, doesn’t mean I’m naughty.
• I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it’s like, she didn’t care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.
• [on Deborah Gibson at the 2001 American Music Awards] She’s the original bubble-gum diva.
• Onstage, I’m the happiest person in the world.
• Marry [Prince William]? I’d love that. Who wouldn’t want to be a princess?
