Fergie: Soul-Baring Style

Fergie is the new covergirl for Paper Magazine’s November 2006 issue. Here are some choice excerpts from the interview:

• On the importance of showing off her sensitive side: “It’s an important thing for people to see more of the little-girl side because that’s a part they don’t get to see with the Black Eyed Peas. They’re both who I am. I’m a strong woman. I’m also romantic. I’m very intimate. There’s the left-brain side of me as well as the right-brain.”
• On after being caught up on fame, drugs, and bling: “I had to move back to my mom’s at age 26, had collection agents after me, had to take out my trust fund and pay off my credit card debt, and lived on unemployment because I spent all my child-star money.”
• On taking crystal meth: “I was unhappy and I didn’t know how to deal with that. So I searched for other creative outlets. It was great for a while — you look good for a while — but if you continue, you’re going to notice things in your life start to disintegrate. That happened to me, but luckily, by the grace of God, I came out of that.
• On partying all night long: “I love to go out and have a good time. I love to go to clubs and go out dancing. I love to hit Bungalow 8, it’s my guilty pleasure. I love Amy Sacco. I love going out with the Heatherettes. I used to go out every night except Sunday. [pauses] Yes, the day of rest.”
