Samantha Mumba Quotations

I'm having a great time. It's like I'm on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what's happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.

All I want to do when I have time off is to have a laugh with my school friends and go down the pub.

But I've had to act and not depend on my voice so much.

There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.

When I'm out with a group I hide in the corner and get legless. I just make sure my friends shield me.

I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.

I'm really starting to think everything happens for a reason.

People watch me, waiting for me to slip up, so my privacy has gone - but that's a price you pay.

All I say is that I don't go out with famous men.

But I'm not crazy about the designers like Prada and Gucci. I hate going into designer stores.

I'm very picky, and I'm never 100% happy with the work I do; I hate watching myself and hearing my voice.

I'm based in London now. I'm renting an apartment, making my own little home. It's great because I am around people all the time and I need my own space to get away from it all.

I loved counting the number of boob jobs I saw as I walked down Rodeo Drive.'

Free time doesn't exist right now! If I get a couple days off, I'll fly back home maybe or fly friends out. I'll go shopping or to the pictures.

On Britney Spears: It's a bit sad to wear a bikini to sell records.

I mean, when I'm performing, I'm up on-stage and it's me being me, and that's when I'm happiest, expressing myself and my music.

If I wore a big, black sack it'd be boring.'

I feel like my little brother has inherited the same musical talents I've been blessed with.

I'm something totally different. There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion...

I'm not into the whole showbiz scene.
