You can't complain about your dressing room or you'll look like Celine Dion.
I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself. My mum told me to only ever do things for myself, not for others.
I don’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like
People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.
I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.
Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I don't find it encouraging...I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself.
The thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying, 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles - We will stand tall - Face it all together
I was about to meet Beyonce, and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, 'You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God.'
I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.
My life is full of drama, and I don't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.
I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to.
I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing.
