I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.

I don't believe in trying to be somebody you're not - just be a bigger, better version of yourself.

My dad brought me Michael Jackson and Madonna and said, "This is ALL you need to know!"

I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.

I've lived in many things - boats, caravans, and buses. I've been homeless, I've had no money: everything. But I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.

I have a little gypsy palace here in New York. It's all mirrors, and I have my own garden. It's so secluded - the closest thing to a caravan I could find!

Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.
