You should do what you can to enjoy every moment.

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.

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

Some people want to give money to their children, buy houses, go on a holiday - whatever it is that they want to invest in. This particular journey has been something that I wanted to do most of my life, but there was no real opportunity to do so.

A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine.

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

I do quite a lot of flying in my concerts.
