I really don't know anything else because my brothers were famous when I was two years old. So I know nothing else, no other life.
So many women are talking about how they could fall in love with Sherman, and he's someone I could fall in love with because it's about what's inside.
I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day...
I love working with organizations. I love giving. I want to do more of that. You got to give back. I love helping people, especially children.
I think people really connect with the idea of someone who's gained and lost weight in this very public way, and also someone who's an emotional eater.
A lot of times I felt so alone. But I also thought there has to be other people that have experienced either what I have, or close to it.
Eddie in costume and make-up with that famous laugh, the minute the cameras started rolling, he became each character. It was amazing!
Control meant not only taking care of myself but living in a much less protected world. And doing that meant growing a tough skin.
A couple of years ago I recorded some tracks with Rich Harrison. But none of that music will appear on my new album. I have a tight rein on all of the music that has been recorded.
You have to feel good about yourself.
I was sheltered, and there's good and bad to that. The good was not getting into the drugs and the alcohol and the really sorry stuff, and the bad was finally coming out into the real world and trying to deal with it, which was hard for me.
I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.
I was never pushed into the religion by my mother or anyone else. I made up my own mind when I was old enough. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual.
I'd adopt. And I think that if I'm really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that's God's plan for me.
