Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.

I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have.
