I've always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn't wear jewellery because it was stupid.

I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.

When you first start off, I know singers who have only been in the business just a short amount of time, and they've already written their autobiography. I didn't want to write it too soon. I wanted to live a while and write about things that I felt were important to me - growing up in Wales, and the characters that I met and listened to.

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

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

I would want to be known as a great singer; that the records I've made and the performances that I've done to be remembered. But the voice is the most important thing. The showmanship goes along with it. But I want to be remembered for my vocal ability.

Dean Martin always dressed very well but then he was a good looking fella with a good physique so he could wear anything.
