I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body.

I didn't want to do something that was easy for me.

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.

At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

I don't weigh myself - it's all about how I feel in my clothes. What looks good on one person might not look good on another body type. I happen to be very confident in my own skin. It takes time to get to that place, but it's all about embracing yourself and your body.
