I don't sing for anybody. I wouldn't sing for the Queen dear.

One is just given a talent, and it's one's duty to make the most of it.

My voice was obviously God given and I have tried to give of myself honestly.

I know I'm not exactly a bombshell, but one has to make the best of what one's got.

All singers must be crazy. But we're a nice family of crazy people

I'm somewhat horrified because I don't think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don't even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don't know where one place is from another.

But I think that Australians have a sort of independence, and I think that, rightly or wrongly, they tend to make their own decisions as to how a thing has gone. Pioneers are apt to be like that. I think that it's not a bad idea. You can listen to what everybody says, but the fact remains that you've got to get out there and do the thing yourself.
