I've had the same car for five years - it's a convertible Jag which I bought with my own money. It's very Austin Powers.

You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don't make as much money as men do. I don't understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?

I want to be a legend, like Celine Dion.

If everything was perfect you would never learn and you would never grow.

I went to a high school for the performing arts and I lived and breathed music. It kept me focused; it kept me sane.

I don't flaunt my money. I like to stay at nice hotels but I'm not a flashy chick. I haven't got much jewellery or anything.

I'm learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.
