When I signed a record deal, I was always told by execs I needed to be like everybody else, that I had to show my midriff, things that would take away from who I want to be as an artist.
What if I accidentally hit somebody? Because my dad took one of his friends golfing, and it was, like, one of his first times and he knocked out a duck. Like, I’m scared that’s going to happen.
I had doors slammed in my face as a 14-year-old because my boobs were too big.
I’m really clumsy, so I trip and fall a lot. And every time I perform in New York my pants split onstage. That’s happened four or five times. Every time, I pull on my mom’s jeans as fast as I can, so there we are, standing backstage without our pants on. It’s like a curse.
The crazy thing is, I never knew that a wiener could actually make me nauseous.
And I’m the worst liar of all time.
I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.
I’m a huge fan of Mariah Carey. I admired her music for so long. It’s hard to follow on her footstep. She’s so successful. Mariah’s Mariah. To be compared to her is a huge compliment.
It’s so much baby and so much amniotic fluid, it’s crazy. If we have a 10 pounder, pray for me!
I’m definitely shy, so it was definitely acting for me to drop a trench coat and be in a bikini and try to get my cousins out of trouble by using my body. That was definitely acting.
Be original. The world will try to fit you into a mold, but carve your own path.
When I walk through an airport and people go, ‘You’re not fat!’ I’m like, ‘Thanks. That’s great. Good to know I’m not fat today! Thank you!’
There are certain things that make me relax, like writing my journal. That’s the only time that I’m relaxing. It’s the only time I really get to examine myself.
When it comes to other celebrity brands, I think a lot of people do a great job, but it can’t be all about them. Everybody doesn’t want to just look like the celebrity, because they can’t. They just want one element of that style.
I am not a person who tries on in the stores. It drives me crazy. So I buy and take back if I don’t like something. I really don’t enjoy being in the dressing room. I rather just try it on in my house.
I think it’s ironic that I fell in love with a man I thought I would never be interested in because he’s an athlete. I was always, ‘An athlete? Heck no.’
I think that freshness and that innocence is something that is missing from a lot of female singers. I’m certainly not denying that I’m young, but I’m not fluff.
Platypus? I thought it was pronounced platymapus. Has it always been pronounced platypus?
I’m not anorexic. I’m from Texas. Are there people from Texas that are anorexic? I’ve never heard of one. And that includes me.
This week it’s peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toasted. And then, I’ll put some salt on my hand like I’m taking a tequila shot and then take a bite of the sandwich.
