I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

You've got muscles and you use them everywhere else in your body when you want it. Why not your face?

The men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody - like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger - and I thought, 'That can be me.' So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn't realize back then that I was having a defining moment.

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.

That something that I fought so hard for throughout the beginning of my career is I didn't want to pancake my skin a lighter color to fit into the... ballet. I wanted to be myself. I didn't want to have to wear makeup that made my nose look thinner.

I try to act with my whole body and, for better or worse, this is the face that's attached to it.

I'm very self conscious in a bikini, and I would never get my tummy out onstage.

I always thought I was so fit.

I don't think I'll ever be a person who likes to work out.
