Simpson: "Image is the most important thing about someone's career and longevity."

Simpson: "I really don't look at myself as just one thing. I'm kind of scattered and like to have my hands in a lot of different projects. It makes me who I am."

Simpson: "Life is definitely always about expanding. That's how we grow."

Simpson: "I love to be comfortable, but I also love to play up the glamour."

Simpson: "I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I'm already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be."

Simpson: "I'm very ditsy and a klutz. I've been known to walk on stage and fall over my dress."

Simpson: "I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren't an entertainer."

Simpson: "I would love for the time to come where somebody can talk about me and not have to talk about Britney and Christina in the same sentence."

Simpson: "I'm spiritual."

Simpson: "I don't ever wanna come across too intimidating, so as long as I look like you can come up and give me a hug, that's good."

Simpson: "I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me, rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer."

Simpson: "I can't deprive myself of things because then I obsess about it and end up eating."

Simpson: "I think that freshness and that innocence is something that is missing from a lot of female singers. I'm certainly not denying that I'm young, but I'm not fluff."

Simpson: "All I have to say is: Jessica Simpson is the most beautiful woman on the planet!"

Simpson: "I think there's a difference between ditzy and dumb. Dumb is just not knowing. Ditzy is having the courage to ask!"

Simpson: "Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken of the Sea.'"

Simpson: "When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Spears because that's what sells records and then you realize, 'All I have to do is be myself? I should have thought of that a long time ago,' it feels good to have success come from what's actually inside of you."

Simpson: "I feel like everybody's always out to get me, and that's a weird feeling."

Simpson: "I'm not that kind of publicity, attention-grabber type of artist."

Simpson: "Through a huge duration of my life, someone has always picked up after me. And when you're on your own and you're trying to be independent, it's definitely different."

Simpson: "I've come to realize that the more I censor myself, the less people relate to me."

Simpson: "I think that having a public career is a bargain with the devil."

Simpson: "Music will always be my No. 1 passion, but I don't have to be doing it professionally. It's not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be."

Simpson: "It really is about the heart of a woman that makes her beautiful."

Simpson: "I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it."

Simpson: "I'm very old fashioned."
