I'm pretty confident and, at the same time, I'm pretty insecure. I'm like a walking conflict.

I get a lot of flak for it... people saying [my body] is not normal for a girl... But I'm okay with it. I think it's because I was a gymnast for eight years, from ages four to 12. My body was made before my bones were fully grown. Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.

I don't try to be candy coated. I don't try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.

I was extreme... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band - I did it all, and all at the same time.

Seems it's my destiny for love to cause me misery.

Carey's had though times as well, so between the two of us, it's perfect

I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.
