I don't get involved in record label politics.

I don't have many famous friends, really, except Simon Cowell.

A part of me feels like I was an animal in my past life that wasn't treated very nicely.

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.

I may not be loud but that doesn't mean I'm not strong within myself. My mum and dad instilled in me to stand up for what I believe in - and I do.

Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.

I love a beautiful gown on stage, and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.
