Natasha Bedingfield

I don't want to be the next anyone. I just want to be me, now. And that means all different things.

I love lamb shank. It's my favorite thing. You don't have it in America. It's a younger meat - it just falls off the bone - it's kind of like a roast. I really like blackened cod too.

My family comes from New Zealand, but I'm a London girl. I was born and raised in London, but I've got the blood of a New Zealander, so I always kind of felt like I didn't belong - in a good way.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
