Sometimes you have to be a diva. All the artists I admire from Madonna to Whitney to Mariah have all been called divas. If you are strong, if you have vision, if you are an artist, you have to do what you believe in. And if you get called a diva for it, then so what.

I just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tags.

I never complain that I'm tired, because I know as soon as I get a good nine hours' sleep, I'm cool.

I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.

It's really important to me that my niece and nephews can come and see my show, as can my grandad and nan. I love spending time with my family, and music has always bonded us.

Never expect, never presume, always work hard and always be true to who you are.

And I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
