Transcript
00:00High school was the time I realized I was a pear-shaped.
00:13Lovely.
00:15Being comfortable in our own body, I think it's just like loving yourself.
00:19You're confident with who you are, who you are as a person.
00:23That you don't think you're like ugly and you love yourself.
00:27Even though you might be big or small.
00:30And I also think once people grow up, they don't care how people think they are.
00:35They just know who they are.
00:37You know, they don't let people tell them who they can be.
00:40They're just themselves.
00:43Are you ever like, I love you, but I hate you right now?
00:46Yeah, like all these I love, I also hate them.
00:49When I was young, the perfect body image was supposed to be 34, 24, 34.
00:55Remember that?
00:56Took a long time to realize that I was never going to have a 24 inch waist.
01:01You're always comparing yourself to what you see like in social, like on the media, magazines.
01:08Instagram, where it's like you see all the celebrities post.
01:11Half the people we see, that's not their body.
01:14And you as a regular everyday person have to compete with someone who's paid $20,000 for the new parts
01:21of their body.
01:21I feel the best about myself when I've done something good for myself.
01:24When I'm performing, that's when I feel beautiful, smart, capable.
01:30And I feel like everything in my life came to that moment.
01:34When I'm shopping.
01:35Yes.
01:35Because I'm like, I like that, I like that.
01:38If you're in your mind, if you look good, then you feel good.
01:41Do you have any particular woman that you look up to and want to be like?
01:46Taylor Swift.
01:47Taylor Swift.
01:48I think Taylor Swift is also really a lot of inspiration because she's pretty comfortable and confident in her little
01:54skin.
01:54Are you excited about getting older?
01:58I am not ready to get old, let me tell you that much.
02:02We know.
02:03I think what's the biggest fear?
02:05Having this conversation with two people who will not age.
02:10I want to be a teenager.
02:11I'm excited to become a teenager.
02:13I'll be 12 in bed a month the last year before I'm a teenager.
02:17And I'm like, I can't wait.
02:19Because I get to have phones and TVs and stuff like that.
02:23I probably look forward to being like 16, 17.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Being able to drive.
02:27Yeah, I get to learn to drive.
02:29That would be so fun.
02:30Hang out with your friends.
02:32It's also kind of like weird too.
02:35I think that I'm just looking forward to get out of the teenage years and the puberty years.
02:42I'm actually really excited.
02:43If I get gray hair, I really want like the silver gray hair.
02:47Growing up is scary.
02:48Wrinkles, back problems.
02:51Well, when I was young, I would have thought of somebody being 65 as just kind of gray haired.
02:57You would, huh?
02:58Yeah, wearing house dresses.
02:59At 65?
03:01Seriously, when I was little, that was my image of an older person.
03:05I want to go gray in a really specific way.
03:09I want one of those storm white streak.
03:13Like Stacey London?
03:15Yes.
03:16Like Stacey London.
03:17Or Cruella de Vil.
03:18My hairdresser absolutely will not permit me to let my hair grow in gray, even though I've been gray since
03:25my late 20s.
03:26When I turned 30, I felt like so great about how I looked and like on my 30th birthday being
03:33like, I feel really good and I feel really sexy.
03:37And I'm a woman.
03:38This is 30.
03:39This is 30.
03:41This is 30 and it's great.
03:43I feel like there's this like promise of like hot mom phase.
03:47There's just like a sexiness to their fortitude that I'm like, that's more than I can boast right now.
03:52There's a sexiness to your fortitude.
03:55Not my fortitude.
03:55No, that's like the sexiest thing you can tell in older women.
03:59That's all right.
04:01I feel perfect.
04:02I don't know if I am, but I feel perfect.
04:04That's how I feel.
04:06It all comes down to self love and self love on every level.
04:11Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, intellectually, and of course, that whole physical appearance because knowing that you are unique and that what
04:18you bring to the table, no one else can bring.
