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

When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

I actually want to go up into space.

I just wanted a change. My hair started hurting my back, so I went to my hairdresser and said 'Take it off.' And I'm delighted with the results.

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.

In the past, I always used to be looking for answers. Today, I know there are only questions. So I just live.

I love a challenge and the last four years it has all come to fruition and it has been wonderful.
