I've always thought of myself as a woman who works hard, believes in herself, and wants to accomplish as much as possible.

For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.

Sexy is good as long as it's not the main recipe. It's an ingredient. I would not appear in a leotard in a video if I [did] not have other dimensions.

I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.

I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself. But there are always people close to me who I trust, who will scold me and pull my ears if I need it. Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.

My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.
