Work is a four-letter word.

Work is a four-letter word.

I never liked miming.

I'm very quiet off stage.

I love cookery programmes.

I always wanted to be a star.

I always believed I would be a star.

But reality television is here to stay.

I give 150%. I'm a professional, a pro.

I don't want to be a burden on anybody.

I love Simon Cowell, he's a dear friend.

Having a biopic made is very flattering.

I intend to grow old very disgracefully.

I humbly apologise for reality Television.

I'm not, sexy, am I? God knows, I've tried

I just thank God when I wake up every day.

I never did acid, I am just so high anyway.

I tried never to take anything for granted.

The difference with me is that I did inhale.

In the Sixties, you needed talent to make it.

I like being in charge of the remote control.

I did smoke a joint once but I did not enjoy it.

I don't want to see a 70-year-old on television.

I do not miss ITV, God no! Have you seen ITV lately?

It's a business, and I'm a product. Terrible, isn't it?

There's nothing going into my mouth that's not wrapped.

If I'm in a rotten mood, I stay in and watch television.

Anything which interferes with my social life is a no-no.

It's hard to watch your life unfold, and sad. Life changes.

I helped make the Sixties swing, and I'm very proud of that.

When I was put up in posh hotels, I thought it was wonderful.

I rarely stay in hotels because I have friends all over the world.

Turning 70 was a real shock. I thought, 'I'm on the last lap now.'

I'm quite subdued, believe it or not. I switch it on for the camera.

The nicest thing about coming of age is that I can do whatever I like.

I wouldn't mind being a talent show judge if it didn't run for too long.

My idea of baking is buying a ready-make cake mix and throwing in an egg.

I can't say I'm surprised I was successful. I was determined - and I got it.

I don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.

I don't want to see older people on T.V. I want to see young, pretty people on T.V.

Who wouldn't fancy Brian Epstein? He was tall and handsome and had money and class.

I'm apolitical. Where all that Conservative business came along from, I don't know.

On my gravestone, I want 'Here lies the singer,' not 'Here lies the T.V. presenter'.

Nothing is a career move. Everything I've done this year has so not been a career move.

It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.

There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days.

I can do the PR thing until the cows come home. That's my nature. I never want to upset anybody.

I had to do the book because there was an unauthorised biography which didn't tell it like it was.

I never thought I'd be on T.V. For me as a kid in Liverpool, it was a more realistic option to be a singer.

'Blind Date' was my lifeline. It was 90 minutes when I could forget about everything, forget about the world.

I don't like the selfie because it's too close. There ain't no people with arms long enough to do a selfie of me.
