Rose and I have gone on the most incredible journey over the past two years

People need help, advice and love, not websites telling you how to lose your last pound, or scantily clad, deeply anorexic celebrities parading around flaunting their golden bones.

No one had much faith in me because I was so young. They imagined a little brat with a flash-in-the-pan single. It was inevitable... Thankfully, I proved people wrong.

A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

Weight doesn't matter as long as you're happy with yourself.

I was very similar at 19. I wanted something to happen in life, I wanted a bit more. I wanted to find someone who could challenge my ideas. So I definitely tapped into that.

I was freakishly ambitious. I didn't want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.

I love fresh flowers for my home. I spend far too much money on them, buying them almost every day.

Yeah, I fancy women big time... I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman... Not Beyonce, although I like the look of her, I don't think she's that dirty.

I think people have common sense and can tell what's real, what's right or what's wrong and work it out.

I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I'd continued with my education, but that's something I can do in the future.

Where there is desire, the means to fulfill it are endless.

Don't be afraid to see what you see.

I love beating the men. When I beat 'em in the ratings, when I beat 'em in the salary, I always say, 'One more for the girls.

I want to die while you love me, While yet you hold me fair, While laughter lies upon my lips, And lights are in my hair.

Speak to me, Jacob, do not play the tyrant. Speak to me.

Dattebayo! (Do you get what I am saying?!)

Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear; unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.

A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.

You're not what you eat; you're what you believe about what you eat.

Most men are a little better than their circumstances give them a chance to be.
