It's frustrating always being compared to Britney because we are two very different artists... We both dance and sing but people have not yet had enough time to realise that there is a huge difference between us. If she wants to go and do something, I'll want to do the opposite.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Getting older, you just don't want to sing fluffy.

At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

I'm no stranger to criticism. You're never going to be good enough, or just the right thing in everybody's eyes.

I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.
