surprised
I can't say I'm surprised I was successful. I was determined - and I got it.
On my gravestone, I want 'Here lies the singer,' not 'Here lies the T.V. presenter'.
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.
age claim developed pill
I was reading about an age pill that has been developed which they claim will make you live longer. That is not for me.
cracked home
I would have loved to have cracked America. When I tried, I got homesick. Then, when I was in New York, my nanna died, and I just wanted to come home.
looked love miss until
It's true what they say: 'You don't appreciate what you've got until it's gone.' I miss love. I miss being looked after.
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.'
