I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

I'm a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He's surrounded by love.

I went through my first big breakup, with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

Getting older, you just don't want to sing fluffy.

I'm a big micro manager; I'm a stickler about organisation; everything needs a place, a purpose, and micro managing myself even when I'm in the studio.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.

Everybody needs that one person that takes you to the right place to see all the positives in your life.

I do reinvent old hits of mine and sort of give them a new life.

I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

I think all of us as women have this super-human quality. We create life, we give life, we are the sources of life for our children - we're all pretty bionic.

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.
