I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.
It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.
There are two sides of the Velvet Rope. Those who want to be on the other side and those who are on the other side.
I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.
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.
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.
