I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.

I've tried wearing more than one ring on one hand and it doesn't look good. It's overkill, I think. So I think a ring on either hand. Nine times out of ten I'll go for pinky rings, but not always.

I haven't become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left.

You are only a young talent, but we don't know how old your soul is.

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.

I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner.

I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice.
