My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water.

The question I love to get asked is: 'What's the hardest part of your job?' And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it's to just to be me. Like, it's really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be.

And more so now, since having a family - I don't seek out any other acceptance.

I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don't like free weights, because I build muscle easily.

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I'm still doing it - I don't know how anything could get better.

I know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.

It’s ignorant to think you know everything about a person. There’s many different sides to everybodys personality and there’s just different colours to a personality.
