Shirley Bassey Quotes

10. (on being awarded Dame Commander of the British Empire) I was asleep and my manager came to wake me up because we were going out that night. I didn't feel like getting up and I said: "Go away, let me sleep". Just as I was going back to sleep he said: "You wouldn't get up even for Damehood?" I had to keep quiet for seven weeks. I nearly had a nervous breakdown. I was afraid to go out in case I told someone - my social life was nil.

11. I wanted to be a model; I wanted to be a nurse; I wanted to be so many things, almost anything but being part of show business.
