A lot of songs are inspiration and help people through pain, grief and loss.

I don't have the desire that I think a lot of performers feel - to get the applause. It's not life or death for me. I love it and it's exciting, but it's not something I crave or miss, so I don't need to perform; I don't have that desire. I like to sing, and I love doing what I'm doing, but it's not a dire need.

My wish is that all all women age 20 and above perform monthly breast self-examinations.

Live, love, knowing that we're all free Now that we are blessed in our country And realise how lucky we are

I keep a diary when I have time to. I always know that I'm either having a great time or I'm very busy when there are three weeks of nothing in my diary. But I like to look back because in ten years to the day I can know where I was and what I was doing, and that's a nice feeling.

I love life and nothing intimidates me anymore.

As for highlights, of course "Grease" changed my life and I will always be grateful for that experience.
