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 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.
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.
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.
There is a lot I haven't said that I actually could say. I hope people would find it interesting. I know a lot of people could relate to it.
I'm not trying to be malicious. The only thing that Rene actually did with Velvet Rope is the production of the opening of the show.
I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
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 always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time.
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!
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.
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.
