Jessica Simpson covers the June 2009 issue of Vanity Fair and covers everything from her faith, Tony Romo, Nick Lachey and the media criticizing her so much.
Jessica on the most lucrative part of her career: "The Jessica Simpson Collection is a $400 million business. My mom and I are creative directors. We have hundreds of people working, but nothing gets by us. It's adorable and it's affordable. What's amazing right now, during this recession, is that, somehow, the business keeps growing."
Jessica on her many on-stage flubs and screw-ups making headlines: "When it comes to media criticism, that's just something I have had to train myself - literally train myself - to ignore. Because I'm the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn't one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place."
Jessica on whether Newlyweds caused the demise of her marriage to Nick Lachey: "In all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage, Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is."
Jessica on her current relationship with Nick: "I have not spoken to him in years."
Jessica on papa Joe Simpson: "If I'm going for advice for anything in my life, I go straight to my father because he has the answers. I can talk to my dad like he's my manager, and put 'Dad' on the back burner. We've been doing it since I was 13. So, at this point, we're in a good rhythm. A lot of people find it strange, but it's the only way I know. And I don't care to know another way, because it suits me. And we've done a pretty dang good job."
Jessica on the current poltical landscape in America: "I think it's definitely time for change. And I am very supportive of our president, and I believe that he's going to do remarkable things."
Jessica on keeping the faith: "I'm spiritual. I live off the faith that has been instilled in me, that has never left. I've never let a stumbling block actually make me fall. We all go through trials, but not one thing has ever made me question God. I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him. But, ultimately, my faith is what defines me."
