Leona Lewis quotes about
I've had tonsilitis and I'm not sure if I can sing on Saturday [whilst out on the town in the West End]
There are so many songs I've recorded, only to hear other people singing them. It happens all the time.
I went to Clive Davis' Grammy party and I nearly spontaneously combusted because everyone on my iPod was there!
Would ask me, what do you want to be when you're older? and I'd be like, a singer, and they'd be like, what do you really want to be? and I'd be like, oh, I really want to be a singer.
I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
To win the X Factor would mean the world to me and my family. I'd buy mum and dad a house and then I think I would buy myself a car and have a little shopping trip.
I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.
My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.
I like someone who can take the reins, who knows what they want and is strong with me.
I love nature and enjoy learning new skills.
I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.
I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.
Unless the radio is on, I am usually listening to stuff that is very different to what I do.
I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me.
