“My nan taught me never to put value on possessions but to value family...” — Rebecca Ferguson Quote

My nan taught me never to put value on possessions but to value family, friends and people. I buy lovely things and enjoy them, but they don't rule me.

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.

I knew I could sing. That one thing I did believe in was that I could sing, but then constantly getting rejected, it started to get me down. But my voice was always there and my dream and my ambition was always there when I went through bad times.

If you are going to survive in business, show business or any business, then you have to be bold.

I'm really lovely and sensitive.

I love thinking of movie stars who could play the characters in the books I write. I think Charlize Theron would make a lovely Marie Antoinette.

If you're creating a story, it's a lovely sort of secret thing going on in your head.

Look after all those lovely peculiarities in your face, your body, and yourself.

If you like someone, even if its 2 A.M. and you've just finished work, then you get that lovely feeling where you want to see them.
