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.
Quote by -Cilla Black
T.V. found me. I was offered jobs. It came in handy when I started having babies. Just one night's work, and then I could go home. I loved 'Surprise Surprise', but it was hard work. 'Blind Date' was a doddle by comparison.
Quote by -Cilla Black
There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.
Quote by -Cilla Black
You see on 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'X Factor,' they all wear ear plugs. But I could not hear myself when I wore them. So that is where the strong voice came from.
Quote by -Cilla Black
Back when I was helping put the swing into the swinging '60s, I used to hang out with Cathy McGowan. We'd be doing 'Ready Steady Go!' on T.V., and Biba used to make our dresses. We'd be in the flat in Cromwell Road on Friday night, just before the live show, and they'd still be sewing.
Quote by -Cilla Black
You couldn't give me any more confidence than when I was on T.V. because I was in control, but I wasn't in control in my private life.
Quote by -Cilla Black
Who wouldn't fancy Brian Epstein? He was tall and handsome and had money and class.
Quote by -Cilla Black
It's no fun getting older. I might be wearing beautiful diamond earrings, but they can't take away the pain of losing my hearing.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I'm a 'never say never' girl. Frank Sinatra retired four times. He kept coming back. But there are people in our business who want to die on stage. Literally. I don't want to do that.
Quote by -Cilla Black
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.
Quote by -Cilla Black
After Fergie and Prince Andrew honeymooned at Le Touessrok in Mauritius, Bobby, my late husband, and I were first to stay in their suite. We enjoyed the benefits - all the spoils and the special luxuries. We practically had our own private beach, and it was most romantic.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I loved everything about show business, meeting the stars, the whole ambience. I was living every young kid's dream. I was told a pop singer's life was three years, but I was still making money seven years later.
Quote by -Cilla Black
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.'
Quote by -Cilla Black
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.
Quote by -Cilla Black
When people ask me do I believe in feminism - well, I didn't even know I was a feminist. I was the top of the bill; I've always been the top of the bill. So I don't know what equality is.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and go anywhere I wanted to go and not have to worry if I could afford it.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I cannot do business. I cannot sit and say, 'How are you, the weather's great, how's your golf?' I'm like a bull in a china shop.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I can do the PR thing until the cows come home. That's my nature. I never want to upset anybody.
Quote by -Cilla Black
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.
Quote by -Cilla Black
'Blind Date' was based on an Australian show called 'Perfect Match', which I first saw when I was on tour there. And I couldn't understand why it wasn't on British T.V.
Quote by -Cilla Black
I don't want to see older people on T.V. I want to see young, pretty people on T.V.
Quote by -Cilla Black
It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.
