I think of myself not just as a dreamer, but as a dream chaser.
Finally my dream came true in that there was a possibility that I could travel to the International Space Station. I've gone through the medicals and the training and now I'm officially, by the Russian Space Federation, a cosmonaut in training.
Anything can happen to anyone at any time and you shouldn't just live through the days, or you lose them. You should do what you can to enjoy every moment.
I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan, and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is, and she lives in Spain.
I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record.
I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.
I've always been interested in space and the idea of exploration in that area since I was a child growing up through the '60s.
The opportunity to orbit the Earth, witnessing multiple sunrises and sunsets every day, looking back to our small blue life-sustaining jewel from a distance, gives me the greatest sense of anticipation.
We are all made up of stars and all of us are billions of years old - that's what I believe, at least.
I feel that people really feel they've got a part of me when they listen to my albums and the themes just show themselves.
I am an expert in the 'art of the possible.'
I never thought that I would be creating my own 'cross-over' genre. What I did was very real and organic. I have worked in so many different styles so it all just came together.
As I get older, I become more imaginative and feel like I have maybe a shorter time to get a lot of things going on in my mind done.
I've wanted to go to space, really, since I was a little girl.
Performing was something I could cling to. It was the only thing I had some control over and that's why I did it. If I hadn't, I'm not sure which way I'd have gone.
A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine.
Philosophy changes day by day.
I was born in 1960, and space theory, especially in the last part of that time and going into the '70s, space was very relevant at that time. It was on television - all the experiments, the moon landings, everything like that.
I like, 'I Believe In Father Christmas' - that is one of my favorites it is a lovely composition; 'Colder Than Winter' as well. There are so many beautiful songs.
When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.
