I had a 23 per cent blockage in my micro-arteries. At first the doctors thought I needed a heart transplant, then they said I have microvascular angina, which means I will be on medication for the rest of my life.

I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others. I'm just more in control; I finalize everything.

Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.

I do have height envy. I'm 5'1 and my sisters are giants so I do have height envy.

It sometimes makes me feel sexy to wear something revealing. But I have gone too far. I have to be honest about that.

How could an Angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wish I didn't wish so hard. Maybe I wished our love apart.

...And i can't get you out of my mind, God knows how hard I've tried.
