Katherine Jenkins Quotes

I love coming back to Neath - this is home and always will be Picture Quote #1

I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don’t think I’d have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church’s choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice Picture Quote #1

In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I’ve been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Yes. I do about 70 shows a year, in the past year I’ve been to Italy, Australia, Japan, China, just about everywhere. I do it because I love singing. The money is a bonus Picture Quote #1

I’m a Cancerian, the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty, but I can take it if someone doesn’t like my music - I’m not everyone’s cup of tea Picture Quote #1

If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I’m a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation Picture Quote #1

Beatbullying’s ‘The Big March 2012’ is such a brilliant campaign and I am very proud to be a part of it. I have been a victim of cyber bullying myself and I know firsthand just how hurtful it can be. People think that they can hide behind computers and send nasty and hurtful comments to people, and this is wrong Picture Quote #1

My idol was Marilyn Monroe, who was a size 16, I think, and curvy in all the right places. I will never be stick thin. I remember a shoot where I had to get into these tiny hot pants, and I thought, ‘God, I wish I hadn’t eaten.’ Picture Quote #1

Everything in my career is my decision - every picture, every outfit. You get one chance at this, and I never saw myself as being a puppet Picture Quote #1

People perceive opera and classical as elitist - I disagree. I’ve always tried to mix the two, make it more accessible Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

I am fussy, about my diet and straining my voice. I know, sounds a bit over the top. But I’m not as bad as I used to be. These days I don’t drink alcohol for five days before a show - very dehydrating for the vocal cords, and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare Picture Quote #1

I did once shatter a chandelier. I was singing with my college choir in Wales. I was the soloist and I hit the high note and there was this massive bang and all this glass came down from the ceiling. I’d like that to be my party trick if I can perfect it Picture Quote #1

I’m over the moon to be involved in the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas special. I can’t quite believe it as it’s a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever Picture Quote #1

I do feel as if I’m living a blessed life at the moment. I’ve been thinking about the phrase ‘living a dream,’ because that’s exactly what is happening. I’m just trying to go with the flow and take each day as it comes, otherwise I might freak out at all the things that have happened recently Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For me, with the Blue Man Group, I got asked. It was for the Royal Variety Show, which was something I always wanted to be a part of. I’m really interested in things people don’t necessarily expect. I did a pop song, but I did it in my own style Picture Quote #1

In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I’ve been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge supporter of the military. I think they do an incredible job. So when I get invited to go out and sing for them, some of the best moments of my life Picture Quote #1

I get ‘voluptuous’ a lot, or ‘shapely,’ but the fact is that as you get older you learn to embrace your body type. I wasn’t able to do that until I was at least 23 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I’ve been there 14 years now Picture Quote #1

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It’s a mix of things Picture Quote #1

I go home and don’t get treated any differently. People have known me all my life and are interested and very supportive but because they have known me forever I don’t get any diva treatment. My mum still tells me off if I haven’t loaded the dishwasher for her Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t the best in my class at the Royal Academy. There was a really good soprano and baritone who were technically better and are doing really well in opera now. But I was definitely the best mezzo-soprano in my class, because I was the only one of those! Picture Quote #1
