When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.
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'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'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good.
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.
I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income, ... Now, it's going to get unfixed.
I'm flattered that other artists consider me a role model.
Control meant not only taking care of myself but living in a much less protected world. And doing that meant growing a tough skin.
Eddie in costume and make-up with that famous laugh, the minute the cameras started rolling, he became each character. It was amazing!
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.
I do think kids should be kids. You have the rest of your life to be an adult.
I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time.
I don't like to work out, and I get bored easily.
