When you are a singer, you have to nurse yourself and make sure you don't get a cold.

I still get nervous about singing. I drink tea with honey and lemon before every concert. And I need to have scented candles in all of my hotel rooms.

First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can't help it.

I miss singing every day. I can't sing anymore. My voice doesn't work. I have Parkinson's disease, and it sometimes takes my words away from me.

I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I've had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.

I feel like in every situation in life, I just always end up singing, like, anywhere.

I get cold - really cold - when I travel.

I have a half an hour warm-up I do that my voice teacher gave me. I exercise at least for an hour during the day. I don't have any superstitious rituals or anything like that.

My singing days have passed. My voice is gone. My throat is worn. And my lungs are going fast.
