When I try to get work in the US all they say is that I need to lose weight - but I bet they never said that to Mae West.

I'm curvy and wholesome.

I am at that age when former child stars go off the rails.

They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldnt be.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.

I think there is a shadow network where everybody has infiltrated in terms of hotel concierges, restaurants, will tip off journalists or paparazzi, the airlines, everywhere.

I can't stand Bob Dylan.

I can't believe there's a website which counts down until I'm legal. It is quite sick and perverted when you think about it. These people must have a lot of time on their hands.

I love being in America.

I don't want to go too far away from what I'm doing now because that would alienate my audience.

It was quite strange, because it's quite different from singing, although it's quite natural because you're used to performing or acting on stage.

It is always dangerous to declare a turning point in history. We always tend to feel that, when we are alive, something really major is happening.

No man will be respected by others who is despised by his own relatives.

I'm healthy now. I probably wouldn't say I'm at my best fitness level and I haven't played that much lately, but I'm healthy and that's all that matters.

They should raise the alcohol age to 60, so at least you'd have something to look forward to at this point.

Ah, what a morning this is, awakening me to life's stupidity. [98 - Zenith trans.]

We had a good run, and now it’s over; what’s wrong with that?

Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.

I mean it's the most objective industry in the world. If your numbers stink, you're out. If your numbers are good, you get more money. It's the most Darwinian, it's beautiful, it's brutal, it works.

You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.

The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
