My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.

Sometimes my mother had difficulty communicating with me about certain topics.

I love Gershwin. I love musicals.

As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you're releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.

I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.

A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.
