Does what you think of you determine your worth?
People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.
I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.
Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.
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.
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.
