Experimenting with drugs, drinking, doing this just enough to be accepted as one of the crowd, but I hated drugs, and I hated the taste of alcohol!

I loved the fact that I could get on stage and be in control.

Actually I'm more passionate about dancing than I am about singing.

Go on, now, go. Walk out the door. Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with 'goodbye?' Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? I will survive.

None of my family had anything to do with show business, my life was totally foreign to them.

My audience is often hands-up, standing and cheering and on tables and all of that kind of things.

There's nothing to compare to live music, there just isn't anything.
