Tie me up, tie me down, make me moan real loud.
Add to the world's confusion, we teach our kids rules that we don't adhere to ourselves.
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.
Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my feelings. Singing and dancing and all the joy that goes with performing come from my heart. If I can't feel it, I won't do it.
There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.
I have met Mariah before and she's really cool and so funny. Everyone has been given the wrong impression of her, and maybe it is her doing. But you have to remember that celebrities are always in the spotlight and are sometimes forced to conduct themselves in a different way than they normally do. That's how it is in the business. I have met artists who are real divas, but Mariah Carey is not one of them. She is a very sweet person, and what nobody sees off camera is the real person she is on the inside.
Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.
Control meant not only taking care of myself but living in a much less protected world. And doing that meant growing a tough skin.
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 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.
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.
On the last tour, I remember being in London and listening to their last album, ... I enjoyed it very much and for Teddy to ask me to do this is a true honor, really an honor.
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.
