bring dress home looking mummy remember sudden
I remember one day my son, our Robert, was looking at me on the settee and looking at me on the television, and then all of a sudden he said: 'Why don't you bring that pretty mummy home with you?' And I thought: 'Oh dear, I'm going to have to dress up at home now as well!'
In the Sixties, you needed talent to make it.
brought god might next picked prayers roman spares usual
I'm a Roman Catholic. Or was. I was brought up that way and used to say my prayers every night, but I don't pray to God any more. I might use the usual phrases I picked up from my parents, 'Oh, if God spares me next year...' or 'Please God...' but they're only phrases.
business coming four frank kept people retired sinatra
I'm a 'never say never' girl. Frank Sinatra retired four times. He kept coming back. But there are people in our business who want to die on stage. Literally. I don't want to do that.
business
I'm apolitical. Where all that Conservative business came along from, I don't know.
brian fancy handsome money tall
Who wouldn't fancy Brian Epstein? He was tall and handsome and had money and class.
good time
When I go out, it's to have a good time, not to find a man.
minutes
'Blind Date' was my lifeline. It was 90 minutes when I could forget about everything, forget about the world.
home known since stage
It is when I am on stage that I feel most comfortable. It is my home. It is the only thing I have known since I was a kid.
mind
I wouldn't mind being a talent show judge if it didn't run for too long.
There's nothing going into my mouth that's not wrapped.
hotels rarely stay
I rarely stay in hotels because I have friends all over the world.
age bow good point
I don't want to live beyond the age of 75. That would be a good point to bow out. I don't want to go on for ever.
life
Anything which interferes with my social life is a no-no.
