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.

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.

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

Being varied is something I do instinctively and naturally. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

I do quite a lot of flying in my concerts.

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

I think of myself not just as a dreamer, but as a dream chaser.
