Anastacias Q&A from Los40 1 radio station. 7/012/04.

Which is the last CD you bought? what's the last concert you went to?

Keane was the last CD I bought. The last concert I went to was mine in Lisbon.

What are your hobbies and manias? My hobbies are shopping (you need good abilities to do it.. -laughs-). I'm pretty sure that my manias list is long but you should ask others about them because I don't notice them. But whatever the case, I don't have weird manias.

When are you going to release a new album?
We really want a live album from you! The live album will come after the summer. I'll start writing and recording the new album in 2006.

Out of singing the way you do, do you play any instruments? No. I play one instrument: my voice. I sing to my producers in every instrument. You should hear me sing the drums!

Congratulations on your version of "We Will Rock You" with Queen. What feelings did you have in that concert? I felt very honored to be able to perform that song. Queen is an icon to music.

I heard you are going to live in London, is it true? I'm renting a house in April, but I won't live there permanently.

I would like to know who came up with the idea of letting two fans sing with you in the concerts (live at last european tour 2004). How was the experience? Where you specially impressed by any of them?I came up with the idea. I'm glad it all worked out fine, the response was huge. I was impressed by so many, I wasn't looking for the perfect voice, but a good combination: a good fan... The winner had participated in Star Idol singing my songs.

What are your plans for this Christmas? I'll be in Los Angeles eating a lot of sushi and mexican food. I'll also try to go to the movies as much as I can.

Listening to "Left Outside Alone" it seems like you're a true believer. Have you always kept the faith in God? I've never lost my faith, no matter what happened in my life. For me, Hope is God, you cannot have one thing without the other.

My mother has breast cancer, what's your advice to go through it?
It's hard for me to give advice to a sick mother. Help her be a patient. There's nobody more scared than her. Let her feel weak and sick, just be there anytime she needs it. Mothers always try to act stronger because they are mothers.
