When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.

Night has brought to those who sleep, only dreams they can not keep.

Look to love and you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings. But if a love is meant to be, hope is home and the heart is free.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

The spring, summer, is quite a hectic time for people in their lives, but then it comes to autumn, and to winter, and you can't but help think back to the year that was, and then hopefully looking forward to the year that is approaching.
