I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are many artists who feel that in order to move forward in their careers, they have to lose a drastic amount of weight.
I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy.
I love my body because it's what I've been given. Being too thin is just as unhealthy as being obese.
I don't have a model's body. But I'm not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they're fat. I'm okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?
When I was a model, everybody was scrutinising me and I felt I had to go to the gym because my figure had to be fantastic. Now that I'm a singer, I've got a different kind of body - it's more athletic.
I was known for being talented, but I was still the fat girl. And it wasn't what people were looking for. There's a lot that you hear. There's a lot of cruelty out there. Some of it comes from the executive offices. It comes from other artists at times. It was a very difficult thing to overcome.
Well, you know, I have always had an issue with the whole weight thing with people in general because I happen to love how big women look. I mean, it's all a perspective. It's all an opinion, and I think sort of the Rubenesque, voluptuous body is a lot sexier than the boney bag of bones with fake everything.
I don't like seeing celebs looking too skinny, I love it when they look healthy and comfortable in their bodies and embrace their curves.
I've long struggled with my body image and have worked hard to achieve a healthy weight.
As an artist, I think you always have to take care of yourself as a person probably even more than the average person because your body is so important to your art.
