When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy.

Everything in my career is my decision - every picture, every outfit. You get one chance at this, and I never saw myself as being a puppet.

Beatbullying's 'The Big March 2012' is such a brilliant campaign and I am very proud to be a part of it. I have been a victim of cyber bullying myself and I know firsthand just how hurtful it can be. People think that they can hide behind computers and send nasty and hurtful comments to people, and this is wrong.

People perceive opera and classical as elitist - I disagree. I've always tried to mix the two, make it more accessible.

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things.

I was such a geek in school.

In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I've been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me.
