My family are too grounded, and I will go home to visit. I always need my dose of Liverpool to keep me grounded. – Rebecca Ferguson
I believe things are meant to be. It’s the only way I can explain it because I had auditioned before to get on ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent,’ and I didn’t get through – it was literally, ‘No!’ – Rebecca Ferguson
The aim for me is to have a long career. I’ve got a couple of kids, and so I can’t really be a fashion because I have to sustain a life for my children. – Rebecca Ferguson
What I loved with Billie Holiday is she had a good way of parlaying the sorrow with a positive musical twist. – Rebecca Ferguson
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. – Rebecca Ferguson
The first time I had money, I was extravagant, but then you realise it’s not just about that. If I lost it all tomorrow, it wouldn’t be me that’s hurt, it would be my babies. It would be more about people’s opinion of me that would concern me. – Rebecca Ferguson
After ‘X Factor,’ I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase – splurge and see that it’s worthless – to get it out of my system. – Rebecca Ferguson
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. – Rebecca Ferguson
When I first studied Billie Holiday’s life story years ago, I admit that I was quite judgmental. – Rebecca Ferguson
I’ve always been interested in beauty. I studied it when I was 16 and 17, and I know it’s a good idea to invest in something alongside my music. – Rebecca Ferguson
I came from nothing. We didn’t have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money. – Rebecca Ferguson
What I hated then – and hate now – is the way that people say to girls like me who get pregnant young that it ruins your life. Having a child doesn’t ruin your life – having a child is a blessing. – Rebecca Ferguson
