I think the best singers in the world, historically, are American. Britain's got its fair share, as well, but some of the greatest singers, ever, whether you're talking about Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey or Aretha Franklin, are from the legacy here.

My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.

I actually don't understand a word Paula's saying anymore. It's like a new language.
