Jessica Simpson - Elle (September 2008)

Jessica Simpson, America’s sweetheart, is featured in the new September issue of Elle Magazine.
28-year-old actress and singer opens up about her past, her marriage, Tony Romo and the new album.

On her new song “Remember that” that talks about abuse: “I had to record that. There’s nothing on my album you’re gonna hear that I don’t relate to or that I haven’t experienced. Because the only way I know to sing is from life experience.”

On Dolly Parton: “I see myself in Dolly. She’s everything I aspire to be in an artist. She has the fun, silly, kitschy vibe. She knew who she was and allowed the world to adapt. It’s foreshadowing for me.”

On Tony Romo: “Most od the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent. He’s the first person I’ve spiritually connected with.”
