I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous.

I always choose songs that I have an emotional connection to, and I often feel myself getting very emotional when I sing.

People perceive opera and classical as elitist - I disagree. I've always tried to mix the two, make it more accessible.

Children should be able to live a life free from bullying and harassment and it is time that we all took a stand against this.

I did once shatter a chandelier. I was singing with my college choir in Wales. I was the soloist and I hit the high note and there was this massive bang and all this glass came down from the ceiling. I'd like that to be my party trick if I can perfect it.

You learn your lessons from the mistakes you make, not the things you achieve.

I remember performing with the Choir as an instrumentalist when I was still in school and it was wonderful to share the stage with them again more recently in Rhyl and at the opening of the Wales vs New Zealand rugby international at the Millennium Stadium. Here's wishing everyone involved in the Choir every success - I can't wait to perform with you again.
