I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, 'Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.'

My team of people around me, they were like, 'Don't be waiting and begging for a man.' You know what I'm saying? Like, 'Don't be desperate because you think having a boyfriend is going to be better. It might be harder with your career.' And then I was like, 'Yeah, you're right. I need to enjoy this.

Owning your curves means being confident - actually being confident - in your own skin. Growing up was tricky for me, it was so hard to shop with all of my friends and not being able to fit into the tiny clothes they were wearing.

You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll

Ricky's [Reed] a lot like me. He always says we have the same brain. He does all different genres, and it just happens his first big hit as a producer was [Derulo's] Talk Dirty to Me, and that Pitbull is his best friend. But he can actually - I swear - he can do every genre.

I don't consider myself a feminist, but I'm down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful. If you asked me, 'What do you want to say?' it would be, 'Love yourself more.'

So let's take our time to say what we want. Use what we got before it's all gone.

Now that I'm famous, guys don't hit on me.

It’s all about loving what you got and rocking it.

If you got beauty, beauty, just raise em up. Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top.

When I got famous, all of a sudden guys wouldn't look at me. Period. So I felt a little sad, a little frustrated. Like, What's going on here? I've never been prettier in my life and I'm so cool and successful.

I want to be better at being single, and I want to be better at feeling okay about being single. I don't need a boyfriend.

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. My mama, she told me don't worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Yeah I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll, so if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along.

We've shared so much laughter, so many tears. We're a spiritual bond that grows stronger each year. We're not sisters by birth, but we knew from the start, something put us together to be sisters by heart.
