Demi Lovato is opening up to Teen Vogue about her personal growth, what she looks for in a man, and her experience working with Naya Rivera on "Glee."

Through the years, Lovatics have found inspiration in her personal journey, as she has been so honest with the fans about overcoming addiction, body image issues, and cutting.

The "X Factor" judge is finally in a place where she is happy, both in her career and in her struggle to find self-acceptance, as E! News reported on October 3, 2013.

As she explained, "I don't have the body of a model or Barbie. My main thing about being in the spotlight with my fans is, I want to be real to them. I have my problem areas, but I'm happy in my skin right now. I'm not going to sacrifice my mental health to have the perfect body."

In the interview, Lovato talked about what she looks for in a potential boyfriend. "Someone who loves me and appreciates me for who I am. Who I can hang out with in sweatpants and no makeup, because that's what I do when I have my time off."

The "Heart Attack" singer also discussed her experience on "Glee," and working with Naya Rivera for their on-screen romance. As she explained, "I'm honored to portray a character that's representing this chapter in our society. Being true to your sexuality and yourself is becoming the norm."

When asked what it was like to kiss Rivera, Lovato seemed a little embarrassed. "Um, I mean, I guess it's good?"

The complete interview appears in the November 2013 issue of Teen Vogue, and will be available on newsstands October 15.
