Well when you're the youngest of five parents kind of lose interest more and more through the children. I think my eldest brother was under loads of pressure to do something amazing with his life but by the time I came around they were like 'Well let's hope he doesn't kill a guy.'

After I finished high school I went to Hong Kong and Thailand and spent some time there. Just to get that whole experience of being out of the bubble that I was in from high school in Vancouver to be able to travel around and be on your own was an amazing experience.

My dad was working abroad in Iraq and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him in Baghdad off and on. For the first ten years of my life we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East.

I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York saw a lot of amazing dresses.

For 'Around the World in 80 Plates' we got to travel all over having what was like a cross between a culinary competition and races. And in each country we had a chef Ambassador. We went to London Barcelona Bologna Hong Kong Thailand Morocco... It was amazing.

Motion capture is amazing. I prefer it. You wear a 'Power Ranger'-esque suit you have tape balls on you you have 60 cameras around you capturing your every movement and there's no hair no makeup.

When we're on set we kind of joke around and when we're rehearsing we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on 'New Moon.'

I was blessed because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.

Strangely enough when the Sugababes' 'Freak Like Me' went to number 1 which was built around my 'Are 'Friends' Electric' song I had another song called 'Rip' go to number 1 in the Kerrang TV chart so I was pulling new people in from very different areas of musical interest. That was quite an amazing week.

Spinning has been such an amazing part of my exercise. I love the music the energy and the sweat. It's a tough class which makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. It's a great way to burn fat and lean out the body. An all-around win!

I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

Since 'Idol' I've gotten used to having an amazing hair and make-up team around me so I'm starting to get picky. I know what I like now and I'm happy to say 'Could we maybe change that?' if I don't like something. I don't yell or anything but I think I could definitely start to act a little diva-ish when it comes to my look.

The seated lotus postures are an amazing way to go into meditation or simply just to take a moment to ground oneself.

When you first have a baby your life doesn't change. I mean you have a little less sleep and you drag these cuddly things around you and it's just amazing. But you still get to be you. Once they get to like five six and school and it starts to get like 'Wow they got real problems. They're my responsibility.' Oh my God. That is overwhelming.

I love being around my friends and my family and spending time with my husband. I like being normal and recharging my batteries and I feel like I have the coolest job in the world where I get to get on stage and perform and get to do a lot of really amazing things.

You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.

When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something something would overspill something would catch on fire and she would be sitting in the background trying to help and basically taking control of the whole situation so I was quite glad she was there at the time.

I mean we've built a lot of products that we think are good and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it's really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that's what's so amazing about the scale that it's at today.

If you think spreading money around by force seems like an odd definition of fairness you're not alone.

What We want is to make it possible for our unfortunate people to live a life of industry for it is by steady work alone that we hope for our physical and moral rehabilitation. For this reason above all we have undertaken to rally our people around our ideal.

There's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone not notice anything going on around you.

As much as I long for a sort of security and consistency sometimes I do enjoy sort of being busted around. I really don't know what's happening sometimes next week let alone this year.

When you have two busy kids running around the house returning e-mails is a task let alone surfing the web.

But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.
