Christina: I feel empowered when I express myself sexually. Any woman who's going to strongly express herself sexually, there's always a backlash... Throughout the years, men have tried to put a restraint on how women are allowed to behave. If you do this, you're not sexy enough. And if you don't do that, you're too sexy... There are so many double standards. It's very important to me as a female to play upon sexuality and be very strong while incorporating that in my art and work.

Christina: 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.
Christina: Be a strong female-don't be afraid of the flack that goes along with that.
Christina: I wouldn't feel right wearing clothes that covered my whole body.
Christina: You can take it or leave it, but I'm not going to change, not for anyone.
