“My love for you is immeasurable, my respect for you immense. You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you’re beauty and elegance.”

One of my daughters was a bit flat-chested, so she had implants and she’s got a lovely pair now. I see nothing wrong with it.

Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It’s the image, not what you sing.

I think I was always looking for that perfect woman, who obviously doesn’t exist. I wanted to be married. I wanted more kids. I’m a family man, at heart.

You’ve got to have this burning desire in your chest to succeed.

The first cut is the deepest.

I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.

I have enough music coming out of my kids’ bedrooms when I’m at home.

I’ve never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I’d get married in a minute if I weren’t still married to somebody else.

There is this power that comes with being famous.

I’m gonna make love to you like fifteen men.

I have lived a great life. I am very happy.

Carrying 200 pounds of velvet and satin around a stage for 90 minutes – that’s man’s work, let me tell you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about women, which I try to pass on to my boys, it’s listening. Listen to the other side of the story first.

You can be with one of the most beautiful women in the world and still be unhappy.

The secret is to moisturize the face. I’ve been doing that since I was 17 years old. (on looking young)

I can definitely say the older I’ve got the better I’ve become at being a dad and a husband.

I’m not going to make a judgment on plastic surgery because I don’t have to yet. I mean, I’d like to think I’ll feel great about myself and age gracefully, but then I think, Well, what if I do want a little bit of something? I’m open to being open.

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that’s partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.

Twinkle in her eyes and a thousand laughter lines; signs of life done right.

That great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.

I used to choose friends based on similarity in age and life stage, but I’ve learned that those were the wrong criteria. Trying to live life exclusively alongside others our own age is like attempting to climb Mt. Everest without a Sherpa. It’s a little dangerous.

Now I’m more behaved, I think it’s age, you get older, more responsible, more quiet. But if I would want to dye my hair, for example red or blue, be sure that I’ll dye it!

It makes me think—what am I going to be like when I’m 65?

The old are in a second childhood.
