At the end of the day, you should take every opportunity that comes your way.

There are so many songs I've recorded, only to hear other people singing them. It happens all the time.

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 usually dream of melodies. When I wake up I have them in my head. I usually come up with things in the middle of the night because that's when my mind is the quietest. I always have my tape recorder, pen and pad by my bed just in case.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it's amazing.

For me, love is happiness and inspiration.

I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.
