I would never do 'Playboy.'

I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.

Michael Jackson asked me to sign a Playboy. I was more than happy to.

I wanted to do Playboy to get across the same ideas I'm singing and writing about these days. It's all about proving that a woman can defy stereotypes.

But 'Playboy' was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle.

Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.

I knew when I got into this business I couldn't have it both ways: I could live the playboy lifestyle, which is not a bad thing to do, or have a traditional family life, which is how I grew up. And that was more important to me.

I came to Playboy not expecting to stay. But after five years, I found myself really enjoying the business world, and I realized I had some skill.

Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wouldn't do it.

In America, if you don't do a 100 million dollars, you've done nothing.
