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

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.

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

You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are, and I was trying to do that in the full glare of the public.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

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 was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.
