When I was with Geffen Records, I weighed almost 400 pounds. The label told me that I had a great voice but wasn't marketable having a weight image.

The biggest thing I've had to overcome was clinical depression. Your mind is the most powerful weapon you have once you can get control of your mind... I had to stop hearing the negative voices where Jennifer was not worthy of love or living.
I continually still fight every day for my life, not only still battling mental health problems but battling multiple sclerosis, which also has depression as one of its side effects.
The music industry is a very rough industry. Many years ago, I think it was even rougher in the sense that a lot of it was predicated on image.
When I tried to get a record deal, only one label wanted me. The rest said 'oh, we've already got a girl with a guitar.' Can you imagine them ever saying that to a guy?
I never wanted to be on an exclusively Christian label.
When I was 13, I was saying that I wanted to be signed to a label. I was begging my dad to get me signed with somebody.
Leaving your old record label doesn't have to be a stall in your career. It's like new life being breathed into it.
At 18, I finally came into a relationship with a record label. My family got back on its feet. I was happy.
