My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.

I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.
