Confidence is one of the sexiest things.

I want to have kids. I want to get married. That is still very important to me.

I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy.

I do not understand where the idea came from that opera is only for privileged people, I am as happy singing before 70,000 people at the Millennium Stadium, as I am in front of a few hundred in a small concert hall.

I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.

If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation.
