I like being in charge of the remote control.

It's no fun getting older. I might be wearing beautiful diamond earrings, but they can't take away the pain of losing my hearing.

It's hard to watch your life unfold, and sad. Life changes.
Cilla Black -
The difference with me is that I did inhale.
Cilla Black -
I'm apolitical. Where all that Conservative business came along from, I don't know.
Cilla Black -
I'm very quiet off stage.

Back when I was helping put the swing into the swinging '60s, I used to hang out with Cathy McGowan. We'd be doing 'Ready Steady Go!' on T.V., and Biba used to make our dresses. We'd be in the flat in Cromwell Road on Friday night, just before the live show, and they'd still be sewing.
Cilla Black -
Having a biopic made is very flattering.

-
But reality television is here to stay.
Cilla Black -
I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and go anywhere I wanted to go and not have to worry if I could afford it.
Cilla Black -
I don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.
Cilla Black -
I was reading about an age pill that has been developed which they claim will make you live longer. That is not for me.
Cilla Black -
I always believed I would be a star.
Cilla Black -
I'm a 'never say never' girl. Frank Sinatra retired four times. He kept coming back. But there are people in our business who want to die on stage. Literally. I don't want to do that.
Cilla Black

It's true what they say: 'You don't appreciate what you've got until it's gone.' I miss love. I miss being looked after.
Cilla Black -
Anything which interferes with my social life is a no-no.
Cilla Black -
I can do the PR thing until the cows come home. That's my nature. I never want to upset anybody.
Cilla Black -
There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days.
Cilla Black -
I've had a blessed life. I've pulled back from trying to control my destiny and gone back to accepting whatever fate has in store for me. I live for today because I don't know what'll happen tomorrow.
Cilla Black -
Really, I'm trying to retire. It's just nobody will let me!

I loved everything about show business, meeting the stars, the whole ambience. I was living every young kid's dream. I was told a pop singer's life was three years, but I was still making money seven years later.
Cilla Black -
I rarely stay in hotels because I have friends all over the world.
Cilla Black -
You see on 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'X Factor,' they all wear ear plugs. But I could not hear myself when I wore them. So that is where the strong voice came from.
Cilla Black -
I don't want to be a burden on anybody.
