Although I'm not shy when I'm singing, I am whenever I hear applause. I don't know if you've noticed, but I giggle a lot on-stage. That's shyness.

I see other artistes milking the applause, but I can't quite do it. ↗

The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies. ↗

I'm just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child. ↗
