Children should be able to live a life free from bullying and harassment and it is time that we all took a stand against this.
When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy.
You learn your lessons from the mistakes you make, not the things you achieve.
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.
I always choose songs that I have an emotional connection to, and I often feel myself getting very emotional when I sing.
I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.
I am fussy, about my diet and straining my voice. I know, sounds a bit over the top. But I'm not as bad as I used to be. These days I don't drink alcohol for five days before a show - very dehydrating for the vocal cords, and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare.
Confidence is one of the sexiest things.
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous.
I'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role.
I do not understand where the idea came from that opera is only for privileged people, I am as happy singing before 70,000 people at the Millennium Stadium, as I am in front of a few hundred in a small concert hall.
For stage wear and gowns, Julien McDonald, who is a friend of mine. I love that he can be totally over the top for stage wear!
My idol was Marilyn Monroe, who was a size 16, I think, and curvy in all the right places. I will never be stick thin. I remember a shoot where I had to get into these tiny hot pants, and I thought, 'God, I wish I hadn't eaten.'
In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I've been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me.
If my mum thinks I'm acting like a diva she'll soon tell me off... She'll cut me down to size!
I'm not naturally a person that wants to exercise, but I find running is something I can do wherever I am in the world.
I am a perfectionist.
I was such a geek in school.
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.
I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.
From as young as I can remember, I always wanted to be a singer... My mum taught me 'Going Down the Garden to Eat Worms' for a competition when I was about 4.
I'm over the moon to be involved in the 'Doctor Who' Christmas special. I can't quite believe it as it's a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
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.
