Team spirit spurs me on. I've always found it easier to be strong for other people than for myself.

I don't trust anybody in my life except my mother and my dogs.

All I ever wanted was to perform, make music, make videos.

Anybody that's been through a divorce, and I hope it's something people never have to experience, it's the worse thing in the world.

I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.

I just don't get boys; I don't really get men.

I know that is what I was put on Earth to do - to be a mother.

I still am very street - I just have nicer clothes. I'm not ashamed of that.

I'd love kids. I'm obsessed with babies. Of course I've thought about baby names. A million times. I like Alfie for a little boy.

I'm a very hands-on person; I don't just want to give my name to something and not be a big part of it.

I'm from a big family. I've got 10 nieces and nephews.

I'm not one of those people who holds a grudge about anything.

If I could be good at any sport, it'd be javelin. I know a few people I would love to throw a spear at.

My privacy is very intentional.

Sisterhood is important to me.

What I will say is that business is not a nice area. And you might say that I am a business woman, but I'm not into cut-throat business moves.

I believe in soulmates, yes, but I believe you also have to work at love. I happen to believe your soulmate doesn't have to be your partner - your soulmate could be your best friend, your sibling, it doesn't have to be the person you marry.

I can act normally, and I can go out, but people around you don't act normally. If it was normal, I'd go out and have my dinner and nobody would be video-phoning me eating my dinner.

I can't hurt any more than I've been hurt, I can't cry any more than I've cried. I've been to the highest of highs and lowest of lows, so one day I'm going to find my middle ground and be happy.

I couldn't see a future of doing anything other than performing. I didn't like school if I'm being honest. I would have settled for performing in any capacity.
