“I’m here to do anything we need to do. I own all my old masters,” the queen of Christmas told USA Today.

She then talked about the behind-the-scenes process of making a TV show about her life and finding the right person to play her. “I don’t think it’s about ‘cast the girl who sings the Mariah Carey style,’ whatever that is.
