I really didn't want to be a singer; of course, for a six year old in England during the war, there wasn't an awful lot around.

There are definitely people who are stuck in the '60s and there are definitely people who think I am and it's just not true. I was performing for a long time before the '60s and I'll be doing exciting interesting things for along time to come.

In some ways, I've always approached singing as acting, and the voice is just like a way of carrying the song.

I did have one boyfriend, from Norway, who knew nothing of my stardom. It was all hand-holding stuff, and we did share my first grown-up kiss, upon which I slapped his face.

War between Old England and the Bostonians is expected according to all reports we can hear. Various reports are circulating, the New England people with us compares Old England with New, as a chip of potage.

I want to beat England because I want to win every game I play. Not because we went to war in 1982 or because we played against each other in 1998. I can't take on some kind of revenge or change history.
