What I loved with Billie Holiday is she had a good way of parlaying the sorrow with a positive musical twist.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
When I was on the X-Factor, I found that I grew a lot as a performer. I knew I could sing but I didn't believe in myself enough... I needed to hear that I was good.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
We grew up in Woolton, Liverpool. We didn't have much, but it was irrelevant. We played out a lot with all the kids on the street.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
When I first studied Billie Holiday's life story years ago, I admit that I was quite judgmental.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
Constantly having to think about money is not nice. People used to say, 'Being rich doesn't make you happy'. And I'd think, 'I've got no electricity, nothing - tell that to my empty fridge'.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
People think that because of my nature and the tone of my voice that I'm stupid, and that's hard.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I'm not very good at business. I'm more of a creative, fun-loving hippie type.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
You have to be really strong in the music industry, and I'm naturally very timid. That was really hard for me. You have to be tough. You have to make decisions and be a businesswoman.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
Growing up, we didn't have anything. My mum wasn't well, so I was in three care homes then foster homes before me and my little brother went back to her. I was passed from pillar to post.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I took lessons since I was little; I used to pay for my own singing lessons and take myself. Just take the bus when I was a kid and go. But I'd been writing music for years, since the smallest age.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
The aim for me is to have a long career. I've got a couple of kids, and so I can't really be a fashion because I have to sustain a life for my children.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
My advice is, if you are going to go on 'X Factor,' you have to know who you are as an artist.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
If you are not happy with the song, don't sing it. Simple as that - no-one forces you to do it.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I think being a mum gives you extra qualities. I'm more feisty, fiercely protective and less selfish. The main trait I want to instill in my kids is kindness. I think it's the most important thing. If you're kind, you'll go a long way.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I've always been interested in beauty. I studied it when I was 16 and 17, and I know it's a good idea to invest in something alongside my music.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I am lucky in that I love what I do, but it can still be hard to be away from the kids for long lengths of time. At the end of the day, all I want is to be with my kids, but it's worth it to create a future for my family.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
A lot of negative stuff has happened to me - that's why I'm tough - but I don't want people to be like, 'Oh, poor Becky,' because I'm not a victim.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I knew I could sing. That one thing I did believe in was that I could sing, but then constantly getting rejected, it started to get me down. But my voice was always there and my dream and my ambition was always there when I went through bad times.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
My family are too grounded, and I will go home to visit. I always need my dose of Liverpool to keep me grounded.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I remember sitting on a bench in New York and sobbing and realising that my ambition to be a singer was making me selfish - I was a mother with two children, and I needed a backup plan.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
Sometimes I won't put a lot of make up on; I won't put foundation on. I'll just pop a bit of blusher on. I'm not obsessed with trying to look like a Victoria's Secret model - it's real life.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I'm not afraid of a rant, am I? I've got to that point where I've just become a woman; I think I've just grown.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I'm one of these people who tries to look for the good in people, but I've learnt that, actually, no, some people fundamentally just are not nice.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I've just grown as a person, accepting my flaws as well. Before I was very insecure and I used to just hide, and now I just accept that I'm an imperfect human.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I absolutely love Nicole Scherzinger. She's worked really hard to get to where she is and really knows her stuff.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
If you are going to survive in business, show business or any business, then you have to be bold.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I was naive in that I thought I could just sing and perform and do what I had always wanted to do all my life. But I wasn't ready for all the added dramas that came along. There were times I fell out of love with music and thought about walking away. I thought I was happier when I was that girl at home in my bedroom singing into my hairbrush.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
It wasn't until my late teens that I really got into soul music and then I was like 'Ooh, this is good!' You'd always here it at old family parties, like, Gladys Knight and I'd always love it but I didn't really get to know it and respect it until I was a bit older.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I'm a better writer than I am a singer, and I express myself easily through writing.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I've got a running machine which I try and use, but it's just finding the time. Don't get me wrong, I love cake and ice cream; I'm the kind of girl that, if I want something, I'll have it.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
I think, even in society, people get so caught up in how they look. I think I let that go, and I've learnt to not care.
Quote by -Rebecca Ferguson
When you're recording classic songs, you've got to kind of make them your own, and you can't always worry about what people are going to think.
