Having confidence is so important, because how you see yourself, is how others will see you too.

You know, I'm a curvy woman and I just want to be comfortable with that.

Wearing nice lingerie makes me feel really glamorous. I love to splurge on that.

The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself

I have learned more and more to enjoy my body when I have a few extra pounds on, just being more voluptuous.

I'm famous for splurging at fast-food places. I'm currently obsessed with Taco Bell's bean and cheese burritos with extra green sauce and extra cheese. Gluttony!

I may not have the type of voice you like, but I can sing. You can’t take that away from me, ‘cause singing is a gift from God, and when people say I can’t sing, it’s kind of like insulting God.

With all the negativity in the world, I want to do something positive.

I love diamond facials - they leave me glowing and refreshed.

I try to work out with my personal trainer for an hour, four times a week - we mainly concentrate on weights and running. If I'm on the road I sometimes do DVD work-outs in my hotel room - P90X and Insanity are a couple of my favourites.

So many songs are just a wink to the audience, but people take them seriously. 'My Humps?' C'mon!

I think a lot of young teenagers try to get esteem from accolades from other people, or boys, and what you learn as you get older is that you have to create that within yourself.

When I was younger, I used to be the cheater. But I'm not talking about going all the way.... I wasn't doing that in high school! I'd have boyfriends and then spring break would come around and I'd be a little bit naughty.

I'm not claiming to be sober. I think that that would be misleading. I drink alcohol. My father has a vineyard, and the wine is really delicious, by the way.

I use the Clarisonic electronic skin cleansing system. It's great for removing excess oil and make-up and leaves my face feeling really smooth and clean. Then I apply Avon Anew Rejuvenate Day Revitalising Cream and Creme de la Mer Eye Concentrate. I think eye cream is so important - it keeps me looking young and prevents wrinkles.

You have to be strong. You have to know how you are, and you have to know who your partner is and you have to know who your friends, who your real friends are.

I'm not going to lie: There are times I play mind tricks on myself, like that the french fries are poison. With desserts, I'll let myself have just one bite, but I'll look like a freak when I'm eating it, like when I did Duncan Hines commercials as a kid, just savoring every morsel.

Part of my affinity with urban music comes from being on 'Kids Incorporated,' 'cos we used to sit around and listen to Chaka Khan and Prince, and I got influenced by all that. Then gangsta rap got started, and I was infatuated with that - maybe that's why I'm fascinated by guns.

Sometimes you have a noisy neighbour. You cannot do anything about that. They will always be noisy. You just have to get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder.

Luckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them!

I have to wear two sports bras when I do my cardio. It takes a lot to hold these puppies up!

Men scream and go crazy in the gym. I'm a silent workout partner, but when my adrenaline gets up, I talk trash.

I would rather have a player who showed a bit of heart out there than one who just accepted things.

I don't want to have a song like 'My Humps' and it be sagging down, so I pay attention to that area. A lot.

It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with.

I have always loved fashion because it's a great way to express your mood. And I'm definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.

Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me, read with me, read with me. It was wonderful.

For me, I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.

I was a child actor. I was this spaz kid diagnosed with ADHD, and I worked all the time.

The devil comes and soon my subconscious and conscious might start to brawl. As this cunning demon takes me as its voodoo doll.

I have my team. Like if you see everyone around me - I have my hair and makeup girl, my assistant. They're very calm, they're all about positive energy. There're no drama queens. Everyone wants everyone else to have a positive experience. There are no agendas. I think it creates a healthy environment and there are no boundaries to cross.

What happens when you're a child professional is that you have to be, well, professional. You're taught not to have tantrums, to always people-please.

I'm very close with my higher power. I have a very strong connection with it.

You'd be surprised how addicting high self-esteem is.

I'm very ambitious, but I also love myself - which means I try to take care of myself.

I keep a journal. I like myself better when I just pour it out. It's easier sometimes, even if you write on a piece of paper and then tear it up, just to vent it out. Because in the past I have sometimes used interviews as therapy, and then I've regretted it because I'm going, "Wait a second, that is not for the world to know. That's for me to know."
Fergie

I feel more comfortable being honest because I don't have to "remember" my answers. You never forget the truth! I just have to learn how much truth to give, that's my boundary. That's my new thing.

You can't help someone unless she wants to help herself. You can give her a nudge, but if she doesn't want to help herself, no one is going to be able to force her to do anything. I like that "attraction rather than promotion" approach.

When you give people so much, you don't have anything left for yourself.

I'm going through an evolution. I'm completely cleaning out my closet. I'm purging, because I saw that show 'Hoarders.' I had a sweatshirt from sixth grade, and I'm going, 'Why do I hold on to this?'

I'm very lucky about my family, because they're just a really solid family. I owe everything to them.

The electro scene is all over the clubs now: groups like Duck Sauce, Empire of the Sun, even MGMT. But I get inspiration from everywhere. I'll go to the gym and put on old albums - Guns N' Roses or old Jay-Z.

He's 19 years of age, ... He's a fiery character and competitive. I think maybe when he sees things that are a bit of an injustice against him then he reacts like that.

I've learned to be more accepting of myself. I'm 37, not 18, and I've got the lines to prove it. I try to remind myself that a girl can have it all, just not all at once.
Fergie

I love Nelly. He's such a great performer. He's so hyper and so am I.

I don't miss being on the road right now because the thing is, I was on the road for eight years, so I love pizza, but pizza every day for eight years is a different thing.

I think everything happens for a reason and all of my choices have led me up to my solo album and made me stronger, not only as an artist but as a person. I want to do more the Black Eyed Peas albums and more of my own albums. I'm in this for the long run.
Fergie

Right now I'm reading every fashion magazine I can find. As a shoe designer, I feel it's my responsibility to learn as much as I can about the business, past and present.

I've already got notebooks full of ideas for new music, so I'm gonna kind of nurture that just like I do all of my ideas and perfect it until it's ready and then I'll just let it go.
