Christina Milian quotes:

I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school

Because I get nervous all the time. It's weird but I think it's fun and it's refreshing. It's always good to be that way. That keeps me appreciative of everything.

I felt like a dork growing up.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.
