I am a perfectionist.

I'm launching my own festival in South Wales. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. It's going to be held at Margam Park, because I wanted the venue to be as close to my home as possible.

I was such a geek in school.

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

I go home and don't get treated any differently. People have known me all my life and are interested and very supportive but because they have known me forever I don't get any diva treatment. My mum still tells me off if I haven't loaded the dishwasher for her.

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

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things.
