If my mum thinks I'm acting like a diva she'll soon tell me off... She'll cut me down to size!

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

I do feel as if I'm living a blessed life at the moment. I've been thinking about the phrase 'living a dream,' because that's exactly what is happening. I'm just trying to go with the flow and take each day as it comes, otherwise I might freak out at all the things that have happened recently.

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.

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

I'm a Cancerian, the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty, but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

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