Americans are so dedicated to their jobs.
I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather be doing.
I have been through a lot, I've been in the music business since I was 15 and I now feel ready to make a lot of dreams come true.
I love absolutely everything about my job. I get to meet loads of really nice people and travel around the world.
I love working with new artists and creative people, different people can provide such different musical ideas.
I really, really love being a mum and I absolutely love being a singer so I couldn't be happier.
I used to be a window cleaner. I got fired because I sometimes liked to drink the soapy water.
I've made and released two albums, I've had numerous singles, and my latest one has been the most successful one so far.
In the UK and the US especially you've got a lot of throwaway artists who have their 40 million dancers and they do their show. There's many artists who would not do a live show because they know they can't.
Life is too short not to experiment.
My daughter is wonderful and incredibly well behaved. I am very lucky. She will always be my priority.
My mum actually gave up work to look after my child, which is so touching.
Obviously I wouldn't be able to do it without the support of so many people.
Teja didn't enjoy school. She really enjoys learning at home now. It's more relaxed. She is really good at maths. Everything she asks I try to answer.
There never seems to be enough hours in the day. At the moment I have no time to make new music because I've been doing so much promotion for this new single.
Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it's just getting the right balance that's important.
You've got your Justins who have all the back flipping dancers and stuff, and then you've got Lemar, and he totally moves you without having to do all of that, and he's gorgeous.
