Besides music, my other passion in life is my children - daughter Khaleda and my son, Megat. Between my family and music, I don't have much time for other things. The only free time I have is spent on squash games and exercise.

I cannot be 'iri hati' (jealous). This is her time. I've had my time. Her success is God's will; I cannot disagree.

I was an old divorcee who was thin, sloppy and wore braces and, still, he was there for me. He really loved me and that made me love him.

His blood is flowing through my children's veins. If I make a big deal about all he's done to me, my children would be so ashamed. I will not let happen.

In the local scene, among the singers I admire are Liza Aziz, Azlina Aziz and Fairuz Hussein. I believe both sisters have tremendous potential and talent. It is sad that Liza has not got the right break and exposure. She deserves much more recognition. Azlina has been quiet ever since she got married. The same goes for Fairuz. I hope they will come back and sing again.

I did one movie, 'Ali Setan' (Ali The Satan) in 1985. I was curious about acting then. That was my first and last movie. Frankly, I didn't enjoy acting as much as I do singing. There is no point getting paid handsomely for things you don't enjoy.

Assumption, speculation and gossip. The entertainment industry is full of them. I have been in the industry for 11 years, but these activities have not changed. What is worst is that people don't clarify things first before jumping to conclusions. They rather live with the misunderstandings.

I believe my strength lies in my music. It draws the crowd. My weakness is I still have stage fright even after 11 years in the industry I still have butterflies in my stomach each time I go on stage.
