Katherine Jenkins quotes

Children should be able to live a life free from bullying and harassment and it is time that we all took a stand against this. (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. View quote

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. View quote
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
You learn your lessons from the mistakes you make, not the things you achieve. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
I always choose songs that I have an emotional connection to, and I often feel myself getting very emotional when I sing. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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.

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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
Confidence is one of the sexiest things. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business. (Katherine Jenkins)
I'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role. View quote
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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! View quote
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a size 16, which is probably why I love her style; it suits me better. View quote
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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. View quote
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)
I always want to give my best and do the best I can. I know when I have sung my best and when I haven't. There can be stresses and hassles with time travel and press attention. I just have to adapt and find a way of dealing with it. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
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. View quote
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. View quote
Katherine Jenkins
From as young as I can remember, I always wanted to be a singer... My mum taught me 'Going Down the Garden to Eat Worms' for a competition when I was about 4. View quote
