Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.
I had a 23 per cent blockage in my micro-arteries. At first the doctors thought I needed a heart transplant, then they said I have microvascular angina, which means I will be on medication for the rest of my life.
Like Scarlett O'Hara, I won't be broke again.
I take an active role in my imaging and how I look.
I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog.
I can't record in the morning because I sound like Barry White.
