“Whitney Houston’s death really crushed me,” she says in the Shape interview. “I saw someone so incredibly talented just diminish, and I refuse to go out like that.”

Mary adds that she’s given up drinking alcohol for more a year now. “Others may be able to drink and have a great time, but it doesn’t work for me at this point,” she added.  “I haven’t had a drink in a year and three months.  I had quit for a long time but started again about five years ago. I’m off it completely once more, and now I feel stronger than ever.”

The issue hits newsstands November 25.
