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

I love coming back to Neath - this is home and always will be.

People see you sing in a certain way, in a long dress, and you are put on a pedestal like you have never made a mistake in your life.

I can't leave the studio until everything is as it should be. And I can't put a record out unless I am completely happy with it. I never want to be at a signing and hear my album playing and think, 'Oh no, I could have done that top note better.'

Being a question on 'The Weakest Link,' that was quite a moment.

Confidence is one of the sexiest things.

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.
