Tracie Bennett Quotations

When I was 2, I used to put pictures of the Manhattan skyline in a little scrapbook. And I used to wear American 'stars and stripe' vests and Daytona Beach stuff and they used to call me 'The Little Yankee.' Thank you to my producers for having faith in a little nobody from Lancashire.

Our world was Northern, black and white, so it was a great thing for my sisters and me to sit down at Christmastime and watch these fabulous MGM musicals. All that color, all those beautiful costumes.

I've always had stamina. It's a genetic thing. Don't forget, I'm from the era where we played outside, so there was no issue with weight because we were out running around the fields and playing hide and seek.

I'm not a singer. I'm a musician, which is different.

I used to be a major people pleaser, but that way purgatory lies.

I am so scared of the sea, so what did I do? Learned to scuba in the Great Barrier Reef.

But I've always tried to make the best of fear, then, because without fears there's no art.

You need fear to create, to live.
