I Was Such A Geek In School.

Everything In My Career Is My Decision - Every Picture, Every Outfit. You Get One Chance At This, And I Never Saw Myself As Being A Puppet.

I'm A Cancerian, The Typical Crab With The Tough Outer Shell And The Soft Bit In The Middle. I Don't Think I'll Ever Come To Terms With People Being Unnecessarily Nasty, But I Can Take It If Someone Doesn't Like My Music - I'm Not Everyone's Cup Of Tea.

If You Love Somebody, You Love Them. My Parents Had A 25-year Age Gap Between Them And My Mum Was The Breadwinner, My Dad The House Husband. I'm A Strong Believer That A Good Relationship Can Work, Whatever The Situation.

I'd Love To Play Carmen - It's The Perfect Mezzo Role.

I Go Home And Don't Get Treated Any Differently. People Have Known Me All My Life And Are Interested And Very Supportive But Because They Have Known Me Forever I Don't Get Any Diva Treatment. My Mum Still Tells Me Off If I Haven't Loaded The Dishwasher For Her.
