Quotes

 * When people hear that I don't smoke, don't drink and am a vegan, they think that I am a miserable cow. But I'm not. I don't eat meat as a moral choice, and I don't eat dairy products because they are very mucus-forming, and that is bad for your voice. I work out because I am asthmatic and being a singer and having asthma is not the best combination.
