I've wanted to go to space, really, since I was a little girl.

I've always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front.

I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record.

I don't want to see pictures of Hollywood stars in their dressing gowns taking out the rubbish. It ruins the fantasy.

I can't be a wife. I'm not that sort of person. Wives have to compromise all the time.

I'm an interpreter of music.

As I'm sure you may know, I'm planning to become a spaceflight participant and have been recently approved to begin my spaceflight training by the Russian space federation having passed the necessary medical and physical tests.
