Quotes

Nelly: Being a mother, I don't have time to go to clubs. So I put fake club scenes in my videos to make it look like I get out more. (edit)
Nelly: (on her bottom) It’s nice to have something to hang on to. It’s just coming out of the woodwork, though, so it’s still shy - it doesn’t want too much spotlight. (edit)
Nelly: I'm very in love with Gael Garcia Bernal, but I think he's with Natalie Portman. It's not fair! (edit)
Nelly: (on the pressures of staying in shape and keeping fit.) Yeah, actually. It’s kinda good though, because it keeps you on your toes. With Maneater I worked hard. I danced a lot that week because I wanted to be able to do all the moves and stuff. It was my first time trying real actual set choreography and, God, my feet were in a sink of ice the night before the video because I’d been in high heels all week and they were really in pain. My feet have never felt that way in my life. But it was kind of like a rite of passage because the next day I had to dance in front of 50 of the best dancers in L.A.. But that was exciting for me – the challenge. I keep challenging myself, pushing my own buttons, you know? (edit)
Nelly: I’m sick of pristine pop records – I wanted something more immediate and raw. Even my label tried to get me to change the final mix because they thought it was too edgy and they thought people weren’t used to that from me. (edit)
