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.

More quotes by Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
I always choose songs that I have an emotional connection to, and I often feel myself getting very emotional when I sing.
Katherine Jenkins
I can't leave the studio until everything is as it should be. And I can't put a record out unless I am completely happy with it. I never want to be at a signing and hear my album playing and think, 'Oh no, I could have done that top note better.'
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
I was such a geek in school.
Katherine Jenkins
I love coming back to Neath - this is home and always will be.
Katherine Jenkins
Confidence is one of the sexiest things.
Katherine Jenkins
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.'
Katherine Jenkins
Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a size 16, which is probably why I love her style it suits me better.
Katherine Jenkins
I do not understand where the idea came from that opera is only for privileged people, I am as happy singing before 70,000 people at the Millennium Stadium, as I am in front of a few hundred in a small concert hall.
Katherine Jenkins
At the weekend, one of the paparazzi left their lunch box filled with half-eaten pasta salad on my doorstep: it was like a little warning, you know? 'We have been here.'
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
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!
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
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.
Katherine Jenkins
I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.
Katherine Jenkins
I'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role.
Katherine Jenkins
