| 1 | "I'm excited about becoming the Pufferfish because I know a thing or two about defending myself. For most of my life, I mean, I wanted to blend in, but I just couldn't. I was that weird kid in science class who messed up all the experiments. And don't get me started about singing. I mean my voice was always different and not necessarily in a good way. I was ridiculed a lot, so I had to learn to stand up for myself. I think that's what made me so successful. Tonight, I'm hoping to stand out like I've done my whole life." |
| "When I was in school, I was sheltered. My household was very religious. While the other kids were off going to movies and listening to music, all of that was off limits to me, and I had to keep my dreams to myself. When I first rose to fame, I definitely turned heads. Some of the things I wore got people talking back at church- but I didn't care. It felt good to express myself. I'm leaning into that sexy side here. I feel like I'm at the Met Gala. And even though this gown is so me, I'm loving throwing off the panel by changing my voice. And I gotta say, I'm hoping to make their heads spin again tonight. I guess I've always loved getting people talking. |
