I had an amazing childhood and always loved to sing and dance, but there were moments where I had ups and downs with my health that often tested me as it does many people. I've never hidden the fact that my health was sometimes not on my side, but I've never let it define me or deter me from my dreams.
Never expect, never presume, always work hard and always be true to who you are.
Do good. Inspire. Set an example to yourself and others. Have faith. Make your actions loud. Have fun. Be nice. Love strong.
Look after yourself; remember that you only consist of your being, so make the best of what you have and look after it. Put good things into your body; eat well.
We all make mistakes. It's human. Just learn from them. Repeating them and being aware of it is the dangerous bit.
The message I want to give my fans is, always have a way to pull yourself out of the dark place. Don't sit and cry about it. Have your moment, and then get over it.
It's ok not to be ok. Just be true to who you are.
Trust Me. Life is not worth living feeling sad and down and lonely. Always be true to who you are.
I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.
I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking.
But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'
When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
Sometimes you have to be a diva. All the artists I admire from Madonna to Whitney to Mariah have all been called divas. If you are strong, if you have vision, if you are an artist, you have to do what you believe in. And if you get called a diva for it, then so what.
