If it all gets too much and they lock me up, I want a great big strait-jacket with spots on it. A pink one... and a big zip on the back so I can escape.

CNN:
Unlikely singing sensation eyes date with queen
Television and YouTube singing sensation Susan Boyle has promised to be on her best behavior if she wins the right to sing for the queen.
The 47-year-old Boyle, who says she has never been kissed, was catapulted into the spotlight after her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables," on the television show "Britain's Got Talent" at the weekend.
The winner of the show gets to sing for the queen at the Royal Variety Show.
Boyle has a long way to go though -- having just won through to the second round after judge Simon Cowell described her first performance as "extraordinary."
Still, she was already thinking of how she would behave.
"Whatever comes my way, I am ready. It would be lovely to sing for the queen. There would be less of the carry on from me, and more of the singing.
"She is a very regal lady, very nice, so I would be nice too, and just get up there and give it a bit of wellie (try)," Boyle told the show's Web site.
Boyle said she was trying to take her new found fame in her stride.
"It's a challenge. Life is a challenge sometimes but this is different. And I like to test myself.
"If it all gets too much and they lock me up, I want a great big strait-jacket with spots on it. A pink one... and a big zip on the back so I can escape."
