My mom was definitely very strict with me.

I've got nine dogs, eight birds, turtles, fish and I had wallabies at one point.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.

We must feel the pain before the pleasure, only then can we tell them apart.

My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.

Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.
