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.

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

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

I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.

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.

Anything can happen to anyone at any time and you shouldn't just live through the days, or you lose them. You should do what you can to enjoy every moment.

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