Leona Lewis
My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.
I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!
I could hang with horses all day.
People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.
I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.
I've always been conscious of my weight.
Overall, I'm quite good with how I spend my cashola.
I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.
My mum is my best friend.
My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.
I have my best ideas when I am alone.
I would like to be a positive force for young girls.
I definitely keep myself secret.
In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.
Oh my gosh! I can't tell you the number of times people have put autotune on my voice, and I'm like, 'Please take it off!' You don't even sound human; it makes you sound like a robot!
People don't really know me at all.
Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.
I don't get involved in record label politics.
I am a whole lot of trouble.
I hate having my hair cut so I try not to.
I get such lovely gifts from fans... amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I'm very lucky!
I usually dream of melodies. When I wake up I have them in my head. I usually come up with things in the middle of the night because that's when my mind is the quietest. I always have my tape recorder, pen and pad by my bed just in case.
I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.
For me, love is happiness and inspiration.
My private life is the most precious thing to me.
I'd love to be on 'Glee.' I'd love to play a rebel. Be a real biker chick in leather and covered in tattoos.
I love nature and enjoy learning new skills.
I get road rage. I can't drive because I cuss people out.
I can't remember who told me but I was advised early on not to Google myself or read things about myself... I don't read a lot but get the gist of what's been said from friends and family. It's good to avoid it if you want to be normal person.
Fear and pain and suffering is not OK for any being to feel intentionally at the hands of us.
I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me.
Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work.
I dont hate L.A. There's a very beautiful side to it; it's scenic, and I can go horse riding.
I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor,' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.
I don't like going out where it's really, really crowded.
All my friends I've known since I was really little.
There are so many songs I've recorded, only to hear other people singing them. It happens all the time.
People will always show their true selves in the end.
I suffer from arachnophobia. I don't mind the tiny spiders so much, it's the ones with their legs covered in thick hair.
Don't care about all the pain in front of me, cause I'm just trying to be happy.Collection: Pain
I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.Collection: Growing Up
My friends are the ones I've had since primary school. They're really cool and such a good bunch of people. They came to every one of my gigs before all of this happened, you know; they were there in the smoky pubs, wherever.Collection: School
Since there's no more you and me. It's time I let you go so I Can Be Free.Collection: Teenage
I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.Collection: Maturity
People have been kind enough to compare me to Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. I think it's amazing that they even put my name in the same sentence.Collection: Thinking
I am vegetarian, so I don’t have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. Shoes are hard to find. These are fake Uggs. And I’ve got a pair of vintage boots, which are PVC.Collection: Animal
Unless the radio is on I am usually listening to stuff that is very different to what I do.Collection: Listening
I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat animals, so I won't wear them.Collection: Animal
I've had tonsilitis and I'm not sure if I can sing on Saturday [whilst out on the town in the West End]Collection: West
