"Hopefully I'll be successful with the singing, but there are so many other things I want to do, like acting. I'll do them one at a time first!"
About this Quote
The subtext is also about managing a particular kind of scrutiny. In the UK celebrity ecosystem of the early 2000s, female ambition is often treated as either delusion or greed. "One at a time" is a disarming concession to that skepticism: she preempts the eye-roll by performing reasonableness. It's a soft negotiation with gatekeepers and audiences who demand both hustle and restraint, reinvention and gratitude.
What makes the line culturally sticky is how it captures a transition moment: celebrity as a portfolio career. Price isn’t presenting a singular calling; she’s describing a personal brand expanding into adjacent markets. It’s not an artist’s manifesto, it’s an entrepreneur’s timeline - and it reveals how, for women whose public image is treated as their primary product, aspiration has to be packaged as practicality to be taken seriously.
