Intervju med Metro News UK
A lot of dance music, some songs about love and heartbreak but also some songs where I speak about the issues I’ve dealt with.
The single’s quite emotional, isn’t it?
It’s very emotional. It’s about overcoming your problems, it’s about strength. Not many songs on the album are like that. I wanted to keep the album upbeat.
You’ve also recorded a song about your relationship with your estranged father – why?
I’ve never spoken about this. I wanted to write a song expressing the reasons why we don’t talk and to share my side of the story.
You’ve had a turbulent time. What was your lowest point?
When I went into treatment but I overcame it and I’m stronger than ever.
What led to that?
Just underlying problems that I’d pushed off for many years. I should have got the help I needed a long time ago but I let it boil up, which wasn’t a healthy decision.
What are your new tattoos?
I’ve got a little heart on my wrist, which my fans used to draw on their wrists every day that I was in treatment. I thought what better way to say thank you than to get one tattooed on my wrist. It was incredible to have that support and I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today without them. I look at my wrists every day and I’m very thankful to my fans.
Fans have said you’re an example of how to deal with eating disorders, haven’t they?
They’ve said I’m an inspiration for helping them deal with their issues, whether that’s eating disorders or cutting themselves [Lovato has had personal problems with both]. I didn’t expect that to happen. I just wanted to be a singer. It’s taken me on a more meaningful journey.
Did you consider leaving the entertainment business?
Absolutely. I thought: ‘I’m exhausted, people don’t understand and so many people are being negative towards me.’ It’s hard. There are so many pressures that are put on to you when you’re in this industry. But I love doing it, I love singing, I don’t want to give that up just because the going gets tough.
Would you want your own children to enter showbiz at a young age?
I started when I was seven but only acted for a year. I had a pretty normal childhood. If they wanted to do it I’d let them but I wouldn’t encourage them.
Are children capable of dealing with a workload like you had?
Yes, it’s done all the time. There are laws that specifically dictate how many hours a child can work. At the same time, it’s important for kids to be kids. I’d rather let my children be children.
What lessons has the music industry taught you?
To keep on going and never stop.
Do you ever Google yourself?
Everybody does. I like to see if my shoes went with the dress on the red carpet or how my hair looked at an event. You want to see how people react to your new video or songs. You need to see what your fans like; you need to know what they think and you have to go on the internet to see that. That doesn’t mean everyone has the right to say whatever they want on the internet. You just need to develop a selective ear and be able to see people are just being a hater for the sake of it.
Do you ever reply to them?
I tweeted someone back once. It’s funny because they don’t expect you to do it. They made some comment and I tweeted back ‘you’re rude’. I mostly ignore them. That time made me a feel a bit better, though.
Who do you like listening to?
I’m a big Rihanna fan. I love her attitude and her new album. I love Kelly Clarkson’s new album, too.
What have been the highlights of your career?
Having a No.1 album on Billboard and winning Teen Choice and People’s Choice Awards.
What has been your most extravagant purchase?
I bought a Mercedes convertible – an E350 or something? I don’t know. It’s my car, I drive it every day. It’s not a toy so I get a lot of use out of it.
What are the perks of fame?
Having a voice and standing up for things you believe in. Being able to inspire people through music. I support anti-bullying campaigns.
What else would you like to achieve?
Winning a Grammy.

Home schooled because of the bullying, the family moved from Texas to Los Angeles when Demi was 15. As her career took off with the Camp Rock films, another Disney movie Princess Protection Programme, and her music career, the addictive behaviour intensified. ‘It was just a matter of manipulating situations and hiding – you get very clever and very secretive. The tricky part about this disease is that you start lying to the people around you and turn into someone that you’re not. It’s scary.’
Compounding her eating disorder, the troubled teenager was cutting herself. ‘I started when I was 12, when I was bullied. It was my way of dealing with the stress and then I often resorted to it when I was feeling overworked. Girls [who self-harm] scratch or cut themselves with razor blades, scissors or sharp objects, or burn themselves. I’ve pretty much tried all of it. My main thing was cutting and that was so horrible. I definitely self-medicated with drugs and alcohol. I would be lying if I said I didn’t,’ she adds.
By the time Demi made it to rehab, she was desperate and ready to change her life. ‘The key is that you have to want it. The problem with a lot of celebrities is that they go into rehab, but they don’t stay for the full amount of time. I wanted to go home after 30 days, but they told me, “No, you’re not better.” I went through 14 hours of therapy every day. It wasn’t fun. There were sessions from seven in the morning until nine at night: Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous and Self Mutilators Anonymous. [To addicts like Demi, all meetings are relevant, whatever their own personal addictions.] It was constant emotional work and exhausting; by the end of the day, all you wanted to do was sleep.’
‘There’s no cure and I may mess up, but I want to be a better role model for my fans’
Today she has her ‘roommate’ Sarah with her, a ‘recovery companion’ who has also been through addiction problems and follows the same programme. Her role is to support Demi in the recovery process and promote a healthy lifestyle. ‘She is living with us, she watches me and makes sure I eat three meals a day,’ says Demi.
Inevitably, one of the most challenging aspects of rehab was learning to eat normally. ‘Breakfast would be at 8.30am, a bowl of cereal with yoghurt or milk and fruit. Lunch would be a sandwich, salad and fruit or vegetables. Dinner might be macaroni cheese with a side of vegetables and milk. I cried often because I was terrified at having to eat three meals a day. I said, “No, this is too much food.” I started eating just so that I could go home. I don’t know what made it click but I realised I just wanted out of my eating disorder.
‘Now I can eat as many meals as I am supposed to and not throw up any more. There’s definitely temptation – every meal I fight it. It’s an addiction and I’m going to have to fight it for the rest of my life,’ continues Demi. ‘There’s no cure and I may mess up, but I want to be a better role model for my fans and my younger sister. There are days when I look in the mirror and think, “God, my jeans don’t fit today – this sucks.” But I’m in a much more spiritual place now. I can pray and I have a great support system around me.’
That support comes from her family and from friends including reality star Kim Kardashian and fellow Disney performers Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, who stayed in constant touch while Demi was in rehab. ‘They called me and kept checking in on me and I never forgot that. Now they make sure I am doing good. Out of all the people in the world, they are the three who are really close to me.’
Demi was also reportedly helped in her recovery by her ex-boyfriend, actor Wilmer Valderrama, from whom she has recently split (he played Fez in the US sitcom That ’70s Show). When I ask about him, though, Demi hesitates before saying, ‘I would like to keep my love life out of this. I’ve learnt not to go public with a relationship because the break-up will be 20 times harder.’ (at least she learnt something from jemi)
She does go on to tell me that she has a better idea of what she wants in a boyfriend. ‘I come with baggage,’ she says with a wry smile. ‘I’ve been through a lot and I need somebody who’s going to be there for me at any point, day or night, and is not going to be afraid of my eating disorder and recovery process. I want a man who’s going to be strong.’
‘I know that I could be in a fragile state of mind if I go back in front of the camera; I’m not really confident enough'
As we chat she peruses the gorgeous outfits and sighs at the prospect of trying on clothes for our photo shoot. ‘I’m not looking forward to that. My recovery is still a work in progress; they say that body image is the last thing to change, and I still battle with that every day. But I definitely have a lot more confidence than I did a year ago.’ In fact she looks lovely. Slim but not too thin, her face is make-up free, and her skin is clear with a healthy glow.
She’s wearing lots of jewellery and there are tattoos covering the scars from the wounds she inflicted on herself over the years. ‘I have nine or ten,’ she says, holding out her arms to show me. On her wrists are the words Stay Strong (one on each). ‘I have Peace, Rock and Roll on my fingers, Faith on my arm, a cross on my hand, feathers on my ribs and a feather behind the ear.’
Demi can’t yet face returning to acting. ‘I know that I could be in a fragile state of mind if I go back in front of the camera; I’m not really confident enough. The camera adds 10lb and I feel like I have too many tattoos right now to go back on screen. I want to act again if they can find a way to cover my tattoos and one day I’d love to be respected as an actress.’
For now, music is her focus: ‘When you are on stage singing, you are far away from people, you’re not up close and it’s very liberating.’ Her goal is to ‘win a Grammy’ (!!!!) and interestingly she cites pop superstar Rihanna as her role model. Like Demi, the 23-year-old singer has had her own difficulties. Rihanna was the victim of domestic violence, but since the end of her abusive relationship with musician Chris Brown three years ago, she has become a global phenomenon. ‘I haven’t met Rihanna, but we’ve talked over the phone and I want to meet her so badly. I love her attitude; she’s sexy and confident. She’s gone through quite a lot and has come out strong. I would like to be the calibre of Rihanna and hopefully one day I’ll get there. I’d love to do a duet with her!’
MUST-HAVE MAKE-UP
Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation — it
lasts a long time and gives really great coverage.
ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES
I love my rings — they make me feel safe
and secure and I feel naked without them.
STYLE ICON
When it comes to the red carpet
I love Kim Kardashian, who is a friend of
mine. I also love Fleetwood Mac’s
Stevie Nicks — she has really great style.
MUSIC I LOOK UP TO
Rihanna and Katy Perry.
I’d love to be on their level.
SAVING UP FOR
A car — I’m going to get a matt black Range Rover.
MOST LIKE TO BE STUCK IN A LIFT WITH…

such as Gerard Butler. I think he’s
gorgeous; he is so masculine.

Hello from Chile!!! I am in Chile for the Iquique Festival. It is beautiful here and the fans are amazing! I cannot wait to come back to South America in April! I feel really lucky and blessed right now for so many reasons.
I recently got involved with a charity called DoSomething.org, which encourages teens to take part in social action. Their current campaign, Teens for Jeans, is all about collecting jeans for homeless teens, and I am so happy to be a part of such a great cause. All of you have been absolutely amazing and so many fans have helped with the cause and donated jeans. For those of you who still want to help, bring your worn jeans to a local Aeropostale store or visit the web site to learn more.
Taking part in a campaign like Teens for Jeans reminds me to not dwell constantly on my own issues and selfishness and refocus that energy on people in need. It also really puts things in perspective when you realize how many kids out there are homeless, unhappy and hurting. Helping those in need makes me so much happier and healthier and I encourage all my fans to be of service!
Stay Strong!
Love,

Svar på tal - Hårfärg och Klagomål
Fråga;
är det en gammal bild eller har hon färgat håret igen?:)
Svar;
Tror den är ganska gammal,men är inte säker :)
Fråga (klagomål) ;
Tkr att ni verkligen borde skaffa en gästbloggare !
Svar; Varför?
Fråga (klagomål) ;
Helt seriöst,sämsta bloggen jag har sett på länge. Uppdatera mer, justindrewbieber.blogg.se har typ 10 inlägg per dag medans ni har 2-3! Suger gör ni.
Svar; Varför ska du jämföra min blogg med deras? Justin gör flera saker än Demi,han använder instagram varje dag,intervjuver och allt annat.. Det gör inte Demi just nu som du har märkt. Sluta klaga, skapa en egen blogg så ska du få se att du inte kommer göra 10 inlägg/dag.
Och till er andra som klagar,det är skit tråkigt att blogga när ni klagar 24/7!! Vad kan jag göra åt att Demi har semester och inte jobbar?! Tänk efter lite själva innan ni öppnar käften. Blir riktigt förbannad när folk håller på och skäller på mig bara för att det inte finns något nytt med Demi. Och ifall ni tycker att jag överreagerar nu så kan jag säga att jag inte gör det, får minst 5 kommentarer varje vecka om hur dålig bloggen är.
Om du tycker att den är så himla dålig så kan du väl sluta kolla ?! Jag tvingar dig inte att gå in på bloggen varje dag? Det gör du själv!
& sen till alla som kommenterar bra saker, TACK! Ni är guldvärda :D
