“I sit there and I’ll look back and I’m like: I’m a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?” the pop star says in the 90-minute film, tentatively titled For the Record, produced in partnership with MTV.
In a video clip from the film, the 26-year-old Spears alludes to her tumultuous past: her divorce from Kevin Federline, forced psychiatric hospitalizations and loss of custody of her two sons.
“I’ve been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there’s a lot that people don’t know,” she says.
“Sometimes I think I get kind of lonely because you don’t open the gate up that much, you know I mean?” she adds. “You’re guarded. You have to be that way, so I’m kind of stuck in this place and it’s like: How do you deal? And you just cope, and that’s what I do. I just cope with it, every day.”

When you just read Britney’s comments they seem very insightful, emotionally raw and a little revealing, but it comes across as much more casual on the video, like she’s come to peace with it already and just needs to tell her fans in order to move on. She seems a lot like the old Britney she was before all her public problems, which was probably the goal for her all along. I was never a real fan, but there’s something admirable in the way she moved past it all and clawed her way back. Some of the lessons seem to have sunk in and we’ll have to see where she goes from here.
Here’s the video, and there’s a clearer one on MTV.com
