bull business cannot china great sit
I cannot do business. I cannot sit and say, 'How are you, the weather's great, how's your golf?' I'm like a bull in a china shop.
I don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.
people
I don't want to see older people on T.V. I want to see young, pretty people on T.V.
I don't want to see a 70-year-old on television.
people
I don't like the selfie because it's too close. There ain't no people with arms long enough to do a selfie of me.
I like being in charge of the remote control.
believe switch
I'm quite subdued, believe it or not. I switch it on for the camera.
abbey clubs discovered gave headphones knock longer shout time
The first time I went to Abbey Road and put those headphones on, I discovered I had two voices. I no longer had to shout in the studio, but I can't knock the Cavern or the other clubs because they gave me my strong voice.
life private
You couldn't give me any more confidence than when I was on T.V. because I was in control, but I wasn't in control in my private life.
knew
I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and go anywhere I wanted to go and not have to worry if I could afford it.
option
I never thought I'd be on T.V. For me as a kid in Liverpool, it was a more realistic option to be a singer.
