I can be very passionate but I also have a bit of a hot temper - when pushed.

A lot of my childhood memories involve walking home in floods of tears. At that age, feeling unpopular is difficult to handle.

Being able to laugh is sexy in a man or woman.

Ideally, I would love to mix singing and acting, but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean, at 30 it's a little bit sad, right?

I never felt popular as a child and never had best friends.

I do love being solo because I can have more of my own creative input to every aspect of my career.

In S Club I played a role in a band, but now I can go off and be me - My horizon's wide open now. It's scary and it's daunting, but it's an absolute thrill. I feel brand new!
