A Smile Is The Most Important Thing

I've Been Singing For Six Years. I've Been In And Out Of The Studios With Top Producers, But It Wasn't Something I Was Ready To Express To The Public Or To The Press. I Wasn't Ready To Come Out. I Wanted To Perfect My Voice And Be 100 Percent Positive That I Could Come Out Right.

I've Made Millions Of Dollars With The Body I Have, So Where's The Pain In That? If I Was In Pain, I Would Have Dieted. The Pain Is Not There - The Pain Is Someone Printing A Picture Of Me And Saying Those Horrible Things.

I Made My Living Being 20 Or 30 Pounds Heavier Than The Average Model. And That's Where I Got Famous.

I Talked About Adopting A Baby When I Was 20 Years Old, Before It Became 'hip.'

It Was Really Hurtful To Me. I Get So Much Mail From Young Girls Who Say, 'i Look Up To You, You're Not As Skinny As Everyone Else, I Think You're Beautiful.' So When They Say That My Body Is 'ugly' And 'disgusting,' What Does That Make Those Girls Feel Like?
