"Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep."

"I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life."
