“Performing live is the greatest high in the world. That's why I do what I do.”

“I'm in love with kid's stories and animation.”

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

“I am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.”

“You don't want a whole bunch of yes people around you.”

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

“Like Scarlett O'Hara, I won't be broke again.”

“My ideal kinda guy, if I was really gonna go there even though he's married, is Mark Wahlberg. To me he's a little black and white, the kinda guy who would understand if I pull my weave out.”

“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 was a 10 million-plus selling artist.”

“I can't record in the morning because I sound like Barry White.”

“Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.”

“In a broken marriage, it can be challenging and tough to get that work/life balance. I love performing but I also love being a mum, and I hate having to choose between them.”

“To do what you love can sometimes be stressful.”

“I can live a totally normal life and do everything I want to do just as long as I take my medication. My body will give me signals if it gets weak or fatigued, so I know when I need to take a break.”

“If I'm uncomfortable, you'd never know.”

“I take an active role in my imaging and how I look.”

“But I don't want to be out there anymore; I don't want people asking me about my health issues, about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.”

“I know for works for me - those wonderful sad love songs.”

“I've been advised not to have any more children for medical reasons, so that's it - the shop has closed, even though I would have loved a daughter.”
