It's important to me that the words that I put out there into the cosmos, into the universe, be empowering or somehow positive for people that hear them, or maybe be cathartic if someone is having a relationship that's having a tough time.

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

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

Once you know the Romance languages, singing in those languages is so sexy and sensual. I do have a global audience, so why not?

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

I wouldn't recommend working with your partner for everyone, because it's tough. There's got to be a really keen balance. You've got to know when to stop being the manager and become the husband. I can't go home and complain to my husband about my manager.

Wherever there's a human being there's going to be somebody that tries to hold you back.
