“I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.”

You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it’s all about family.

How can my son not be straight after all I’ve said and done for him?

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 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)

One smile relieves a heart that grieves.

Love at first sight’some say misnaming Discovery of twinned helplessness Against the huge tug of procreation. But friendship at first sight? This also Catches fiercely at the surprised heart So that the cheek blanches then blushes.

Flatterers are the worst kind of enemies. [Lat., Pessimum genus inimicorum laudantes.]

Youth doesn’t need friends — it only needs crowds.

To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.

If you’re willing to take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd, maybe it’s, you know, the pleasure will be worth the pain.

The crowds treat me like my last name. When I go onstage people usually stand up, I never ask them to, but they do. They stand up and they don’t know how much I appreciate it.

The bigger the crowd the better really! The noise calms your nerves.
