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

Music TV in the U.K. is disappearing. 'Top Of The Pops,' 'CD:UK' and shows like that have gone, and it's bringing down the music industry. We should do as much as we can to keep our music TV and producers need to be more willing to accommodate live music.

In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.

I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.

I've had tonsilitis and I'm not sure if I can sing on Saturday [whilst out on the town in the West End]

People have been kind enough to compare me to Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. I think it's amazing that they even put my name in the same sentence.

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