I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.

My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I dont ever want to do anything mediocre. I hear the music in the charts and I dont mean to be rude, but those people have no soul. Learning from music is like eating a meal - you have to pace yourself. You cant take everything from it all at once. I want to be different, definitely. Im not a one trick pony. Im at least a five-trick pony.
