I love theatrics and have a huge imagination: Why would I want to sit onstage and sing a bunch of ballads back-to-back?

Basically, what I'm saying is there is nothing fake about what I do. I'm up-front, I'm real, I'm honest and I'm open with my feelings.

The most successful people I've worked with, like the Rolling Stones - people of a different, kind of legendary caliber - have such great, warm energy.

You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy. I'm very confident and happy with my body.

I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.

I think everybody should have a great Wonderbra. There's so many ways to enhance them, everybody does it.

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