Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down.

I do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life, my most recent life before this, I was absolutely horrible, evil, hideous. Because otherwise – well, hell, to even things up next time around, I’m...

I was for sure not prepared for fame when it happened.

When you meet the love of your life, it’s just obvious and natural and easier.

I don’t have the recipe for happiness, but I think the engine is simply having the desire.

Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship; you are very much in love with someone, but it’s making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out.

Women are the real superheroes because they’re not just working. They have a life and everything.

I’m super lucky because I come home and I don’t have to run errands and clean the house and do all that.

Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves?

It has been extraordinary, wonderful, I’ve been three feet off the ground since I made that first record.

You fall for who the chemistry is with.

I love the romance of ‘let’s get married,’ but then, when you have it so perfect… I mean, I’m more married than anybody can be – we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it’s...

It amuses me when I’m described as ‘chic.’

It’s not my style to judge anybody.

It’s difficult when you want it all.

Fear can make all of us do the wrong things sometimes.

How many times do I have to repeat this: my childhood was fantastic.

My children are grown now, they are more independent.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.

There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.

I just like putting outfits together without much thought and seeing what the outcome is.

Well, my type is obviously creative. Creative, with burning eyes and a pretty mouth.

My daughter loves singing above all else.

The movies and the parts I’m being offered are becoming better and better.

I could sing in English before I could understand it because I phonetically learned it from the musicals.

I liked to play dress-up.

I don’t like things set in stone.

People don’t get through to the essence of you right away – it’s always the famous ‘girl’ or the famous ‘girlfriend’. I’d rather be known for myself.

The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.

I realize how unique my path has been. And I’m thankful for that.

I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say, ‘You have work at being a couple.’

I understand those who don’t like me.

In the winter I separate, in the summer I marry. It’s been 15 years since I’ve been getting married every year.

You keep learning all the time.

I love clothes but I have spent so much of my professional life creating an image of one kind or another that it is nice not to care about it in life and let your...

My mum told me to have patience. It’s about realising that when things aren’t going the way you want them to, or you don’t have inspiration, it will come.

When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.

If your heart is in love, you can do anything.

I don’t believe you can say ‘forever’; I don’t believe it exists.

You know, when I eat three peas, I’m pregnant. When I visit a city, I’m buying a house.

Nothing is ever for sure, but when something in love doesn’t work from the beginning, it’s never going to work. Don’t push it.

I mostly want to be friends with my children.

It’s a courageous thing to do something that doesn’t have rules or limits.

I’d rather sing a good lyric written by someone else than one of my own that is terrible.

As long as you’re fully present in what you’re doing at the moment, you’re doing it.

Love is the strongest and most fragile thing we have in life.

I was an only child until I was 11 years old, which is when my sister was born. So for 11 years, it was just me.

‘Singin’ in the Rain’ was the one for me. Yeah. I mean, Gene Kelly could just sway and never fall. He’d just sway and sway as he danced.

If you have the support of people with a heart and a brain, then you’re good.

I am a complete sentimentalist when it comes to clothes. I have so many memories attached to them that I can’t throw anything out.
