Actor`s page Susan Boyle, 1 April 1961, Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland, UK!

Pressure is good because it makes you work harder.

My fame is a dream come true.

I am the happiest I've ever been and truly enjoying myself.

I've had crushes but never been in love. The only thing I regret is not having children.

Appearance is not everything - I'm happy with the way I look.

I can be up and down like a yo-yo.

[YouTube] Six weeks ago the only tube I knew of was a tube of Smarties.

I'm among friends...am I not?

[her success] It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

[before singing I Dreamed a Dream in 2009] I'm gonna make that audience rock.

When you lose someone as powerful as your mother you feel as if a part of you is taken away.

[Her first words at her audition] My name is Susan Boyle.

If my mother could see me now, she'd tell me to keep going.

[Her Britain's Got Talent audition] I never even thought I'd get past the judges.

I was a wee bit slower at picking up things than other people. So you get left behind in a system that just wants to rush on, you know? Show less «

I've grown up a bit.

[to the people who used to bully her when she was a little girl] I've got the last laugh.

Never been married. Never been kissed. Shame, but that's not an advert.

Have I found, reached or achieved my dream? Well, everybody never completely fulfills their dream. My dream is to make people happy and to go on making people happy for as long as it lasts, so it's not really complete. It's never really complete without the fans. Show less «

I really feel at home on stage.

If Mr Right comes along and it feels right, then I'll get married.

I just want to thank the people of Britain for getting behind me. You've made my dreams come true.

I hope my Mum is proud of me now. It's all for her, my family and the people who support me.

When people are a wee bit slow, others pick at them.

[thinking back on her star-making audition] I can hardly remember what happened on the night as I had my eyes closed most of the time. It really didn't dawn on me what was happening. Show less «

[losing to Diversity] Sometimes it's better to runner-up.

This is a world I'd never seen before and never dreamt I would get to see.

I brush up quite well.

To anyone who has a dream, I say follow that dream. You re never too old. It is never too late.

I'll get used to the fame side of things with baby steps - one step at a time.

[after losing to Diversity on Britain's Got Talent 2009] The best people won.

I've led a sheltered life.

I like to keep myself to myself. If you lose your identity you become something that's false and people stop believing in you. If you can't be yourself then who can you be? Show less «

Hopefully I can show Scotland's got talent.

If people didn't recognize you I might end up saying "What am I doing wrong?"

I had to get out there and prove to everybody I could do it. It's been like a demolition ball.

I look like a garage.

You should never judge a book by its cover.

[Her mother] She meant me to do something with my life.

[her mother] I know she would have been proud of me.

I have never been accepted by the world before. Now I do feel part of it and I find it really exciting. I keep asking myself "is this really happening?" And I keep expecting someone to say "ha ha love, we're kidding!" Everyone has fears but mine is that this will all disappear. I want it to keep on going as long as possible. If it did all go away tomorrow, I know I've enjoyed every minute of living the dream now. Show less «

I have my faith which is the backbone of who I am really.

I've been living my dream.

There's nothing worse than another person having power over you by bullying you.

[David Hasselhoff] He's a nice, wee hunk.

When I was a baby, they didn't really give me much scope. They told my parents not to expect too much of me and just to play things purely by ear because I had a slight disability. My faith got me through that. You never give up on anything really; you never give up on yourself and the people around you. Words often hurt more than cuts and bruises and the scars are still there.

[after performing I Dreamed a Dream on Britain's Got Talent 2009] Bloody fantastic!

I'm very pro-Royal.
