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.

I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

The big labels have less of a stranglehold on artists and how they record and where they go.

I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.
