Ive had people ask me in interviews what its like to have money, but thats not how it is. I have a middle-class life. I have a room in London but not a house, nor a BMW. – Beth Ditto
My size has helped make me an amazing performer too. The cliche of the Funny Fat Friend: I absolutely was that character – I am that character… Its a complicated bag of tools I acquired, and Ive put them all to work onstage. – Beth Ditto
I just like food too much, and I dont want to change. I spent so much of childhood trying to change, and I just got sick of it… I dont want to look like Britney Spears, I just dont want to. Shes hideous. – Beth Ditto
Ive never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didnt work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine. – Beth Ditto
