The legend recently sat down with PEOPLE talked about her weight,upcoming Tv Movie and her music.
The singer revealed that she hopes that Halle Berry will play her role.

Here are the highlights of the interview.
On her struggle with weight:

It’s no secret you’ve had some struggles with your weight in recent years.
Who hasn’t had a weight issue? If not the body, certainly the big head! (Laughs.) But I have no such issues now.

How much have you lost?
A lot of weight. I won’t say the number, but I found the magic numbers on the treadmill. Slowly but surely. It’s all happy.

No surgery?
I would never, ever do that. I know many women who [had gastric bypass surgery]] who are having a bad time now, unfortunately. It’s nothing I would ever do.

On her biopic:

And a movie?
For television. My autobiography, From These Roots. Hopefully it will happen early spring. I have verbal commitments from Billy Dee [Williams] to play my father, and Terrence Howard to play Smokey Robinson.

Who’ll play you?
I’m not sure yet. Jennifer Hudson came to read for me. I also have an interest in Halle Berry possibly doing it. And Fantasia.
