Check out a few excerpts below:
What made you want to writethe book?
A lot of people asked me about weight loss, weight gain, how did I do it, what brought it on, what took it off and instead of just tellingthemthe nutritional side I wanted to start fromthe very, very beginning, which was my childhood. I wrotethe book also wanting to help children so that’s why I go tothe very beginning.On hitting 180 lbs
Well, I put onthe weight for a film that I was to [suppose] to do and atthe very last minutethey had to changethe schedule ofthe film, which didn’t workwith my schedule so I had to pull out. I had all of this weight that I had to get off of me.Whose idea was it to shoot that famous topless Rolling Stone cover?
Patrick Demarchelier, shot that cover; I was like 25 or something like that. Actually when I was shooting ‘Poetic Justice,’ we were staying San Francisco and I came out ofthe tub and I got this idea. I was wrapped in my towel and I thought “Oh, this might make kind of a cool cover.” That’s really how it all happened and that was kind ofthe last shoot ofthe day andthe only shot we did indoors.
