In the interview with the magazine, she talks about body image, dieting, and even her place in the Pussycat Dolls:

On whether she’s always been body-confident:
“I was so awkward and lanky, and only felt comfortable when I escaped to my room to listen to Whitney Houston and sing at the top of my voice.”

On whether she and Cheryl Cole are enemies:
“I have to consciously distance myself from what is said in the tabloids, because I’m highly sensitive to that stuff. How do they come up with it? I think they were trying to start a rivalry between us. But it’s all silly and, at the end of the day, you just have to laugh about it because it’s not real.”

On her averseness to dieting:
“I don’t believe in diets very much. I have tried every one out there and I’ve realized they don’t work. It’s more about having a consistent diet in everyday life. I don’t believe in depriving myself of anything. Balance, moderation and staying active – that is what works.”

On the standing of the Pussycat Dolls:
“I’ll tell you as much as I know. I’ve never left the Pussycat Dolls. I’m still the lead singer of the group. I do know that a few girls have left to pursue solo careers. I wish them only the best. I’m happy for them.”
