Leona Lewis quotes about
At the end of the day, you should take every opportunity that comes your way.
I get such lovely gifts from fans... amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I'm very lucky!
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.
I have my best ideas when I am alone.
A part of me feels like I was an animal in my past life that wasn't treated very nicely.
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'll never go against my morals.
I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.
When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer.
Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.
I'm very strong creatively, in my music.
Since there's no more you and me. It's time I let you go so I Can Be Free.
My mum is my best friend.
I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.
