Radio listeners often have a very fertile imagination when it comes to body shape.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The luxury of radio is that you don't spend hours in make-up, and you can wear whatever you want. It's bizarre. You'll be saying lines, with various people around making sound effect noises.
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 know that everyone who listens to radio creates you in a visual image that they need you to have. Whatever that is, I thought, let them have it. Let me be who the listener needs me to be and let me not contradict that with the reality of my photograph and risk disappointing them.
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.
We're more into expressing ourselves than making radio hits.
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.
Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.
It's just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.
The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.
Radio voices have a solid, even texture.
