I only photograph myself at poignant moments in my life as a check of where I am and how large my thighs are.

Even today I work with Niall O'Brien, who is far more technically astute than I am, but I still have the clearest idea of every detail I want in my photograph.

I am just reflecting the times. I can't ignore them.

I am in total ecstasy with where my life is now.

I don't know why, but in my career and in my life, I often find myself in situations where I am the only girl among boys.

'Idol' was groundbreaking television. I am very fortunate to have won the show at the time. 'Idol' changed my life, and I am thankful.
