I started singing because I come from Wales.

I'm a proud Welshman.

My parents were always Welsh-speaking and very proud of Wales.

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 think it's unfair to criticise someone for not being Welsh, but the smaller the nation, the more patriotic you seem to be.

I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.

We're sometimes treated like the stupid cousin, so I'm always drawn to characters that make you feel good about being Welsh.

All my friends are Welsh, I speak Welsh, and I feel very Welsh.

I love my nice things, but I'm still the Welsh family girl.

I like the Stereophonics. I know the lead singer, Kelly Jones, and there's the Welsh connection.
