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.
We all make mistakes. It's human. Just learn from them. Repeating them and being aware of it is the dangerous bit.
It's ok not to be ok. Just be true to who you are.
I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic.
You should never, ever apologize for anything that makes you happy.
I just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tags.
We all have our moments of being fed up ... but give me your hand and I'll hold it. If you are being bullied I am thinking of you. You are not alone and it will get better. Don't let them win. It's okay not to be okay.
I wasn't always someone who was talented. It was more that I was loud and loved a challenge.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, Just be true to who you are
I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.
I have become a bit obsessed with eyebrows. I used to never have any, and then I realised big eyebrows are good, and now I'm an eyebrow fiend. Everyone comes to me to get their eyebrows done.
I think being nice and being safe is unfair to yourself when you have big dreams as a woman. I think you have to prepare yourself that not everyone in this world has the same personality... The one thing I've chosen to be great at in my life is singing - so why not be proud that I'm great at it?
