My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.

I was always the slightly fat kid, which used to bother me quite a bit.

Even before I really started, no one said I would make it. But I always had belief.

I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

The bronze powder business, however, no longer required my personal attention, and was well managed by those I had chosen as the guardians of a secret, which was long and honourably kept.
