Every performer wants to sing live. That's what I live for.

The most important thing to me is to give something back to my parents, because they've done so much for me throughout my life.

My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.

I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.

I don't really read the tabloids, and you never know if what's being printed is true or not.

In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.

Unless the radio is on I am usually listening to stuff that is very different to what I do.
