bad british-musician people
It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.
critics people success understand
I was so ordinary, critics couldn't understand it, but looking back, that was the reason for my success. What you see is what you get. People thought, 'I could do that.'
ask believe equality people
When people ask me do I believe in feminism - well, I didn't even know I was a feminist. I was the top of the bill; I've always been the top of the bill. So I don't know what equality is.
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.
people
I don't want to see older people on T.V. I want to see young, pretty people on T.V.
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.
early generation pop singer
There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days.
trying
Really, I'm trying to retire. It's just nobody will let me!
australian based british saw tour
'Blind Date' was based on an Australian show called 'Perfect Match', which I first saw when I was on tour there. And I couldn't understand why it wasn't on British T.V.
I don't want to be a burden on anybody.
cows home nature until
I can do the PR thing until the cows come home. That's my nature. I never want to upset anybody.
Nothing is a career move. Everything I've done this year has so not been a career move.
On my gravestone, I want 'Here lies the singer,' not 'Here lies the T.V. presenter'.
rotten watch
If I'm in a rotten mood, I stay in and watch television.
