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

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

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

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My whole career was launched in such sort of poptastic style with 'Kids In America', and I liked - and like - being poptastic. Songs big on melody, high on energy, lots of attitude... what's wrong with that?

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.
