When we were growing up, all of us kids were vegetarians. No one had asked me to stop eating meat - I just noticed everyone else around me had stopped, so I followed the crew.
My mother is very strong. Aside from wanting her beauty and her heart, I really wanted her strength. And I've always thought I don't have it.
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.
When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.
I get so much energy from the fans.
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.
You have to be careful with the clitoris, because if the piercer doesn't know what he's doing, it can be numbed for good.
I like to collaborate on my music. The creative process is fun, and you get a lot of ideas from having discussions about it. Ultimately, the final decision is mine.
My parents are very competitive, so we are very competitive as kids. But it's a good kind of competition; it's not a jealousy. You always want to do your best, and if it can't be you, you want it to be your brother or your sister, you know what I mean?
There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?
In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.
Being on 'Good Times' was the first time I was around a group of people that wasn't my family.
We all have the need to feel special.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
