To be honest, I think that I am a bit of a singer, coming from Wales; being Welsh, we are all very proud of our singing heritage.
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.
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.
My parents were always Welsh-speaking and very proud of Wales.
I'm a hugely proud Welsh person. I just love it - it's something very special, being Welsh.
I see myself as a different sort of Welsh. Because we are from Cardiff, we see Wales as Cardiff. This is Wales; outside Cardiff is beyond. It's a strange one. You are really Welsh, but you're not, if you know what I mean.
I like to think I'm a bit of a son of the country, I've played for the country so many times I feel proud to be Welsh. It's accepted me for what I am and what I do.
My parents aren't artists or anything, but growing up in Wales, especially in a Welsh language school and community, they have this thing called the Eisteddfod where people compete in singing and acting and dancing and oratory all sorts of things. From a very young age, it's been a part of my upbringing.
I think I am very disturbing on the set because I am singing all the time. I won't say I am a singer, but I do sing a lot.
I love my heritage. I'm very proud of being Cuban. But I clearly understand that I am an American first.
I am a moderately good singer. I am not a great singer but I can interpret a song, which I don't think is quite the same as singing it.
I am very proud of my family and my heritage and my history, and I'm also proud of my own achievements.
It's all very confusing. I think I'm very honest and candid, but I'm also proud of how honest and candid I am -- so where does that put me?
I am extremely proud of my heritage, and I would never use being Dutch as an excuse but rather an explanation of our cultural differences.
We all want to be identified as someone cool, and I have struggled with repping where I'm from and my heritage before. It's part of growing pains. But when people see me being proud of what I am - and they are what I am too - it makes them proud. That's why I try to represent my Asian and my black side.
In many ways, being honest about 'Huckleberry Finn' goes right to the heart of whether we can be honest about our heritage and our identity as Americans.
We moved to America when I was young, but we were always very Welsh in our home. The humor, food, traditions. Very Welsh.
