I'm a Disney fan. Like, seriously, if I see Mickey Mouse, I light up.

Unless the radio is on, I am usually listening to stuff that is very different to what I do.

I love Thandie Newton. I love her fashion sense as she is just really classic.

I love horseback riding. I still do it.

I really love getting hot stone massages. They really help me relax and it's so soothing for your muscles.

I call myself a vegetarian with vegan tendencies.

I'm totally against animal cruelty. I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products.

I know how to look after myself.

Every performer wants to sing live. That's what I live for.

A lot of people can have a lot of different influences, everyone can be compared in some way to someone whether they are from 60 years ago or more recent.

At the end of the day, you should take every opportunity that comes your way.

I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white.

I don't really read the tabloids, and you never know if what's being printed is true or not.

The most important thing to me is to give something back to my parents, because they've done so much for me throughout my life.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it's amazing.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

I'm very strong creatively, in my music.

Sometimes I think I want to get 'hair and make up' every day, but that's just not possible.

I'm really not that confident!

David Bowie is such a big influence to me. Everything about him as a person is intriguing to me.

I would love to sing opera.

It takes me a while to come out of myself and get to know people.

I love a beautiful gown on stage, and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.

My private life is the most precious thing to me.
