To be a mother you must be strong. Even if you don't feel it, you have to pretend.

People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.

My father was a very difficult man.

All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

When you play arenas you can create whatever you want. At a theater the height of the stage and the limitations of the theater can make you feel more separate from the audience.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

I don't like looking outrageous.
