The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.

I'm a free spirit and that definitely comes from my upbringing, so it's definitely shaped me as an artist.

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.

You should hear what my parents wanted to call me. It was between Brown Rice, Neon Hitch and Z. Ziggurat Zanzibar Zandorf. I'm not joking. Imagine fitting that on my passport!

The day I was born, my house burnt down; the day I left home, the Twin Towers burnt down; and I lived in a jungle in India at 15.

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 like to be wild, and I like to do wild, crazy things. I need excitement. At all times. Normal is not my type.
