“I don’t think people expect Bruce Springsteen to come out in a pink satin jacket, but Rod Stewart, they do. And I like doing it; I don’t wear it just because I think I have to. I’m a very flamboyant person.”

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 had no dreams of such economic success. You should have fun and not be so weighed down by expectations.

Expectations keep us in a victim role. They keep us blaming. They keep us looking outward. They keep us stuck.  

No truths hidden, no lies fed. No expectations, no tears shed.

Attachment gives birth to expectations.

Free yourself of the fears that cause you to live your life according to the expectation of others.

The issue about love, is that we rely on our lovers to love us, the way we should love ourselves.

Expectations are the reason that you’re broken and that’s true.

Letting go of expectation make space for the possibility that may something far more wonderful will happen.
