Quotes from Katherine Jenkins


Sorted by Popularity


I was such a geek in school.


With 'Believe' bringing really big success for me outside of the U.K. for the first time, it meant I have been touring around the world and that led to a gap from the studio. I really feel like the gap has done me the world of good. Throughout that time I was able to collect songs that I really loved.


When I did 'Dancing with the Stars' I did lose an awful lot of weight and I think at the time everybody was sort of alarmed by it. You can eat anything and it is still dropping off you when you are doing that amount of exercise.


I've been lucky that I've performed with a lot of the classical people I've wanted to work with so I'd like to do something that people didn't see coming. Like Madonna, or being Welsh - the Tom Jones thing. Or somebody suggested N-Dubz - that would be brilliant!


People see you sing in a certain way, in a long dress, and you are put on a pedestal like you have never made a mistake in your life.


My music appeals in America. There is less of the purist criticism I get here. And to be a hit in the U.S... what singer doesn't have that dream?


My mother and father were perfect role models. They were together for 25 years and very much in love. But I've got too much to do now. I'm only 27.


I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous.


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'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role.


Singing has always been my big passion and I would love to be able to go to the U.S. and perform more.


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 love coming back to Neath - this is home and always will be.


I have a long fuse.


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!


I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.


Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great.


I've always said that I count myself as a classical crossover artist. To be so, you have to have the core classical training, which I did for many, many years, but also be interested in the pop side of things. You can fit in somewhere in the middle. I feel I do that really well.


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.
