From the beginning, I've had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say - and I've learnt that they're meaningless, and they're mostly inaccurate. So I don't worry about it, because there's nothin' for me to deal with.

For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.

I've met many young women who are HIV positive and courageously fighting the disease. Their determination to live a full life and see their children live in a better world is deeply inspiring to me.

Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?

I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.

Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
