I've always felt very proud of Wales and being Welsh. People are a bit surprised when I say I'm Welsh. I was born in Wales, went to school in Wales and my mother was Welsh. I'm Welsh. It's my place of birth, my country.

John Prescott

The first time I went to Wales I thought I'd landed in a land of hobbits. Everybody was really small and the houses were small and the writing was backwards.

David Hasselhoff

Everyone I know is fervently proud to be Welsh but you try not to be preachy about it. It's difficult at times. But when I go home to north Wales, or to somewhere I've never been in south Wales, I still feel at home because I'm in Wales. It's hard to explain.

Gary Speed

I had a series of jobs in the small fishing village in West Wales where my family lived when I was a teenager. I worked as a fisherman in the day, and then the skipper and his wife ran a small restaurant - she'd cook the fish he caught.

Johnny Flynn

Everything for me starts very small and snowballs. So I rarely start with the grand idea and find a place for it and narrow down. It's, really, just start small, and as I'm writing it, I begin to see - sometimes to my own surprise - what's unfolding and what's blooming.

Khaled Hosseini

I come from south Wales. A place called Aberbargoed.

Luke Evans

If you grow up in a place, and you're small, even if the place is itself also small, it's huge to you. It's what's out there: it's the world outside of your door.

Jhumpa Lahiri

There are some real positives for Wales. Their back four's not bad, sometimes.

Iain Dowie

The way to make the world a better place, through your eating, is simply to eat a bit less meat. Local is sometimes good, sometimes bad. But even when it's good, its environmental impact is relatively small compared to other possible improvements.

Tyler Cowen

People can be really famous in Wales for rugby, but outside of Wales nobody really has a clue who you are or what you've done.

Gareth Thomas

There was never a question of who I was going to play for. The English showed a bit of interest, but I was born in Wales raised in Wales so there was never any doubt about that.

Harry Wilson

There's not really the appetite in Wales at the moment to become an independent country. Scotland is in a different place.

Carwyn Jones

I sometimes go for drives with my wife around south Wales, and always the people are so friendly and so passionate.

Michael Laudrup

There's so much hard work, dedication, and focus goes in from not just the athletes but from the coaches, officials, governing bodies, and Sport Wales. It's a real team effort, and it's rightly called Team Wales.

Lynn Davies

When I kayak in Cardigan Bay, in Wales, what I hope to find above all else is dolphins. Sometimes I do, and these days are the waymarks of my life.

George Monbiot

When I moved to Wales more than twenty years ago and began to research 'Here Be Dragons,' I was fascinated from the first by the Welsh medieval laws, by the discovery that women enjoyed a greater status in Wales than elsewhere in Europe.
