Jordin Sparks on size

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has generated a lot of controversy because of her size, and while most people have embraced the curvy singer's stylish appearance, a few have criticized her. Sparks recently talked to OK magazine about her love life, her career and her diet. Here's what she had to say:

• On the pressure to be thin: "I really think that Hollywood needs to get over that. I'm just saying! I kind of thought it was really dumb before, anyway, before I got into all this. I'm still the same. I'm not going to change just because you have this image of somebody and how they need to look, because I will never look like that. I would probably fall over if the wind blew if I was that skinny. I can't help it. I love food and I love my curves. I'm very strong-willed and I'm stubborn in that sense to where I'm just like "no, I won't be that way." I definitely do like exercise. I like to eat right. It's all about being healthy. The stick-thin thing, I'm kind of just like "not gonna do it" and I couldn't."
• On her diet and exercise regime: "I eat salads, steaks and good stuff, and I'm trying to cut out soda but it's kind of hard. That's what I was doing, and I'm trying to get back into it. Since everything has been so crazy and sometimes I don't really have time to go out and drive to the gym, I'll just do some sit-ups in my room, jump rope in my room a little bit, to get that cardio in, and then just trying to eat right. I'm trying to get back into it."

She sounds incredibly grounded if you ask me, and good for her for rejecting the typical Hollywood size.
