True to form, Demi also gives an honest and revealing interview that spans several aspects of her life, from love to politics and her advocacy for mental health.
Read on for HIGHlights!
On voting for Hillary Clinton: “The reason ├óΓé¼╦£I’m with her’ is because out of everybody running, she is the most qualified and she will get shit done. I can hopefully help open people’s eyes to how much racism is affecting our country and now infiltrating it in a sense where we might have an incredibly racist Republican candidate. It’s terrifying to think that families can be, and sometimes are, separated on a daily basis.” On Kesha speaking out about Dr. Luke: “I thought it was extremely brave of a pop star in the industry to come out and talk about that. I do believe it’s very fucked up that he’s not letting her go, aside from all of the other stuff. I think women artists shouldn’t compete├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥we have to support each other.”
On dating a Latino man: “When I dated white guys, it wasn’t as passionate as my relationship with Wilmer. Maybe that’s just Wilmer. But I do believe that Latin people are just more expressive, more passionate with their emotions. He’s very manly, and he can be stubborn like Latino men can, but he’s protective and he cares so much and loves so hard. I’ve been blessed enough to have him in my life, and not just as my man, but also my best friend.”
On communicating with Wilmer’s mom: “His mom teaches me to cook. She showed me how to make arepas. I can understand Spanish better than I can speak it. I’m not good at retaining information or even my own song lyrics, so remembering an entire language has been difficult for me. #SayNoToDrugs.”
On recovering from her eating disorder: “I’ve actually been on a meal plan for almost two years now, because in my recovery I have to surrender control over food to somebody else so I can just focus on my mental state. I’ve been my heaviest in my relationship with Wilmer and also been my thinnest. He’s seen it all and loves me equally, and it gives me confidence to know that.”
On the many losses she’s experienced this past year: “When I say goodbye to somebody, I tell them I love them, if I do. I make sure to hug them. I make sure to look at them like it’s the last time I’ll ever see them. There’s a lot of pain that I experienced over the past year, and I’m so ready to write about it. I’ve stayed sober through it all, I’m a stronger person, but it’s definitely been a very painful year.”
On advocating for mental health: “We have to figure out something as a country about how we get mental health care to be as accessible as physical health care. When you take things to Capitol Hill, it’s tangible and you really feel like you’re making a difference. And if you’re having conversations that are uncomfortable and you’re sharing your story of being vulnerable, people relate. It’s harder for people to relate to you as an artist if you only talk about your love life.”
So wise at such a young age! We are truly in awe of this woman.
