Dusty Springfield

“Sometimes you have to let people down in order to get on, particularly in showbusiness.”

“I wouldn't know how to handle serenity if somebody handed it to me on a plate.”

“I'd love to retouch my whole life.”

“I find it an effort to keep up appearances.”

“It's marvellous to be popular, but foolish to think it will last.”

“Hell, have I been a hell-raiser!”

“I just decided I wanted to become someone else... So I became someone else.”

“My affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful.”

“My sexuality has never been a problem to me but I think it has been for other people.”

“Somehow I took whatever criticism there was very much to heart.”

“I was a nothing kid. Not particularly good. Not particularly bad.”

“A lot of people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it.”

“I have tried sex with both men and women. I found I liked it.”

“I'm the most misunderstood, misquoted person I know, honestly.”
