A biography for Rebecca Fergusonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm able to provide for my family and the people that I love with things that I never used to be able to. I'm getting to make music and work with amazing people. I just feel really lucky.”
“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.”
“There's this culture where we celebrate people snapping back into shape a week after the birth, but I don't want to be one of those people - I just want to enjoy Arabella.”
“When I first studied Billie Holiday's life story years ago, I admit that I was quite judgmental.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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'.”
“I'm not very good at business. I'm more of a creative, fun-loving hippie type.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have two older brothers and two younger sisters; Sam and I are in the middle, and I've always felt protective and closest to him.”
“What I loved with Billie Holiday is she had a good way of parlaying the sorrow with a positive musical twist.”
“I absolutely love Nicole Scherzinger. She's worked really hard to get to where she is and really knows her stuff.”
“I'd gone from being a mum to all of a sudden having people fussing and overly pampering me. It can easily change you.”
“My mum is a lovely woman, so strong but so kind and compassionate. She brought us up to be proud, loving and forgiving.”
“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.”
“Some people won't like me; that's just human nature. I battled with that for years, trying to please people, but now I haven't got time to win people over! I've got nappies to change!”
