“I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.”

I’ve been out with some extremely beautiful women who have had no sex appeal whatsoever. It really is a lot more than skin deep.

Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees.

May you grow to be proud, dignified, and true, and do unto others as you’d have done to you.

It was early detection that saved my voice – and I imagine, my life.

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.

I started singing in the bathroom, Nothing was coming out. It was ghastly.

A show is like having a climax. It’s like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it’s all finished, and you don’t know what to do next.

There’s still plenty of lead in this pencil, but I only write to one person now.
