I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.

I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?

I'm a better writer than I am a singer, and I express myself easily through writing.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

If you haven't got love, you've got nothing.

I knew I could sing. That one thing I did believe in was that I could sing, but then constantly getting rejected, it started to get me down. But my voice was always there and my dream and my ambition was always there when I went through bad times.

My family are too grounded, and I will go home to visit. I always need my dose of Liverpool to keep me grounded.
