Personal quotes:

"There is no truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for Britney 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."

"It's disgusting and offensive and above all it's not true." - about Eminem's lyrics in "The Real Slim Shady" which contained sexual references about her

"I like to be edgy, I like to be different. I'm a little bit of rebel."

"It's funny how society places such strict standards upon young blonde females. We're supposed to play the clean-cut view the public wants of us. But I am not your little cookie-cutter virgin."

"It's human nature to have a sexual side."

"I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down! The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not dis other women for being proud of theirs!"

"Hold your head high and sway your hips when you walk!"

"I have grown up now and have no need to dress like that anymore. I want my music to speak for me rather than the dress or lack of dresses I wore."

"It is such a hush-hush topic because it happens in the home. I definitely wrote that song not to badmouth him at all, but one, for a healing process for myself, and two, to give people hope or a voice to relate to. To know that you can get through it and that it will be OK." - On why she wrote the song 'I'm OK', which is her take on her father Fausto Aguilera's abusive behavior before her parents separated.

"Be a strong female - don't be afraid of the flack that goes along with that."

Hello.. more information about christina Aguilera are found at wikipedia and this are updated regularly.. so far there here are some of the primers from wikipedia :

Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American pop/R&B singer and songwriter. She was signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection" for the film Mulan. She came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera (1999), which was a commercial success. A Latin pop album, Mi Reflejo, and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, but she was displeased with the lack of input in her music and image.

After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her second studio album Stripped (2002), which received mixed reviews and produced substantial sales. The second single, "Beautiful", was a commercial success and sustained the album's sales amidst controversy over Aguilera's sexual image. Aguilera's third studio album Back to Basics (2006), included elements of soul, jazz, and blues music, and was released to positive critical reception.

Aguilera is currently in the studio working on her forthcoming album. Aside from being known for her vocal ability and ever-changing image, musically, she includes themes of dealing with public scrutiny, her childhood, and female empowerment. Aguilera's work has earned her numerous awards including five Grammy Awards amongst eighteen nominations. She has become one of the most successful recording artists of the decade, racking up sales of more than 37 million albums worldwide.

And she is married to a dorky looking dude which is always good news for me ;D
