Dusty Springfield quotes about
My sexuality has never been a problem to me but I think it has been for other people.
My affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful.
I wouldn't know how to handle serenity if somebody handed it to me on a plate.
It's marvellous to be popular, but foolish to think it will last.
It got very well reviewed, ... I don't think it ever sold that much, but it seems to have settled into this niche of respect, which I find very touching.
Somehow I took whatever criticism there was very much to heart.
I just decided I wanted to become someone else... So I became someone else.
I find it an effort to keep up appearances.
I reacted very well to all the treatment, and I got a clean bill of health,
I couldn't stand to be thought of as a big butch lady. But I know that I'm as perfectly capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy.
