I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country.

Love and understand the Italians, for the people are more marvellous than the land.

I like my country, but I don't think like an Italian. It's a complex, complicated difficult country to make things happen in.

I'll move back to Wales if and when I have children. I want them to speak the language I speak, but I love living in London. It's my favourite city in the whole world. I love it because it's not England, it's London.

I'm still a Welsh girl at heart so I'm staying in the U.K. for the Olympics, it's such an exciting time for Britain so it's amazing to be a part of it.

Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.

I live in Italy. I visit my family in Switzerland.

Everyone I know is fervently proud to be Welsh but you try not to be preachy about it. It's difficult at times. But when I go home to north Wales, or to somewhere I've never been in south Wales, I still feel at home because I'm in Wales. It's hard to explain.

I have been going to Italy since 1980, but I always went to do work. I did not live overseas, because I do not like running around with everything I own in a paper bag.
