To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.

I told Missy [Elliot] I couldn't believe how much she has done as a woman in a male-led arena and that she's an inspiration to me. When I got into the lift back to my room to get changed and go home, I broke down in tears.

My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.

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.

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'No, no, no,'

I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.
