I decided to retire from show business at the age of 17, because I didn't like it a bit.
From Shirley Bassey
I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.
I learned by standing in the wings and watching established acts on stage.
I'm too busy putting my energies into my performance to be a diva.
You want success, and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.
When you live in a safe place like Monte Carlo, you can walk home at any time of the night and you don't have to worry. I don't feel at risk there. If I drive myself, I can leave the car doors unlocked.
