I know I should keep this a secret, but Celine Dion is something of an icon to me.

I'm very honest in my music and I'm often asked to explain the lyrics; as an introvert, I find that quite hard. And I always wear high heels on stage, which can be painful.

I got a job as soon as I could - 11 or 12. I started babysitting and then I got a part-time job at a pharmacy in England. I just remember loving the feeling of going out and buying my own clothes! I'd go bargain-hunting and get secondhand vintage stuff.

A lot of my songs are about taking whatever life throws at you and making the most of it.

I don't want to be the next anyone. I just want to be me, now. And that means all different things.

Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you.

I liked English and art and did a lot of painting. And for some reason I was good at math, but I wasn't an A student. I really had to work hard to get good grades.
