Dusty Springfield

“It's a marvelous thing, the ocean. For the introspection, the mystery, the romance of it all.”

“I don't think I have a 'style'. I just sing.”

“I can't stand being conventional.”

“I'm not a pop star. I'm a singer.”

“I have a great curiosity for all sorts of things. I'm a bit of a dilettante.”

“You don't have to be in love to sing a love song. You have to be in love with the song.”

“I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog.”

“I would have been a much more conventional person if I'd had a different voice.”

“Longing, that's what I do best.”

“The only thing I want to do is sing.”

“I couldn't be a nun. I'm a naughty girl. I'm a wanton.”

“I just want to be a housewife. I'd love to be a housewife. I'm a good cook and I'm a good cleaner and I love children.”

“I'm a perfectionist. It's a curse.”

“I suppose I'm a bit of a chameleon, enjoying the chance to be a character.”

“I was a quiet, shy child. I was the one who was always waiting for the others to do things.”
