I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.

The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters.

For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift.

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.

A little black dress is something to rely on. To fill you with confidence and ease. To have an attitude that is pure and effortless, yet sexy and classy.

I never wanted to make it too easy for people to sum me up.
