I Was Such A Geek In School.

I'm Launching My Own Festival In South Wales. It's Something I've Wanted To Do For A Long Time. It's Going To Be Held At Margam Park, Because I Wanted The Venue To Be As Close To My Home As Possible.

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.

I Remember Performing With The Choir As An Instrumentalist When I Was Still In School And It Was Wonderful To Share The Stage With Them Again More Recently In Rhyl And At The Opening Of The Wales Vs New Zealand Rugby International At The Millennium Stadium. Here's Wishing Everyone Involved In The Choir Every Success - I Can't Wait To Perform With You Again.

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.'

At The Weekend, One Of The Paparazzi Left Their Lunch Box Filled With Half-eaten Pasta Salad On My Doorstep: It Was Like A Little Warning, You Know? 'we Have Been Here.'
