On being a singer: "I've always been really passionate about music. My dad was, too, before he became a wrestler. I couldn't see myself doing anything else."

The new season of her TV show: "It's crazier. I went on a date with a girl. The girl was really awesome and we had a blast. Then it got to the point where she was wanting to kiss me. Everyone knows I do not go there."

What she's learned from her father: "The best advice he ever gave me is that you're the only person in charge of your happiness. You can?t depend on other people to make you happy."

Reading criticisms of herself: "I read it, but my friends and I laugh about it. It stinks when they get vicious. I'm still trying to get out of the weight thing. You have to be beautiful and have a great body to be in this business. My dad was fat as a kid, my mom was heavy and we come from an Italian family on both ends. We're thick. For me to look like this is a constant upkeep."

Her thoughts on her current weight: "I feel great at this weight, but I've started sticking to a diet again. I'm trying hard to get down even more. You need to keep to the old-school body builder diet of eggs, fish, chicken, meat and broccoli. I want to always look healthy, not anorexic."

How she feels about her body: " I love my body. Thick or not, I'm firm. I don't have cellulite. I?m happy with how I am. People should know, I'm only doing the diet for the entertainment business. It?s not really what you?re supposed to look like in real life."

Her relationship with her mom: "I had a talk with her and I said, "I think everyone in America knows why I won't accept Charlie [Linda Hogan's boyfriend]." But what people don't know is that he's a bad influence on her. She's not staying as healthy as she should be. He's 19, he can party his ass off. She's 48. I said, "Mom, if you want to have a relationship with me you have to dump Charlie." It's not because of his age. If he were 5 years old and a good influence on her then that would better. But I'm just not happy with the situation because of their poor judgment -- with what they do."

She defines the things they do: "I know there are things that could damage her health and make her get old really quick. I don't want to see that happen. I'm trying to stick to the tough love thing. I'm just staying away until she wakes up. In order for me to keep my sanity, I have to love her from afar. We are totally different women. I?m straitlaced, don't do drugs, stick to my regimen. It's different there."

How her father is: "He's good. Thank God he has Jennifer. She's a lot like me. She likes to eat organic, work out and clean the house. I told my dad if he ever wanted to marry her, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
