“I was full of fire when I was young. I wanted to attack anything.”

There’s plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I’ll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I think teen-age love is a great thing. There’s nothing quite like it and never will be for the rest of your life.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That’s why I love vegetables, you know what they’re about!

I got married when I was 16 so I had to do shift-work to make ends meet.

Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Dont just do something because everybody else is doing it- do it your own way!

Once heard, Never forgotten!

You can’t lose the essence of a song. I try to enhance it more than anything else.

I’ve always felt myself as being a serious singer.

I like to drink to suit my location.

You are only a young talent, but we don’t know how old your soul is.

Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.

We won best breakthrough video, it meant so much to me to win that award, it was a turning point in my career.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, I love you, yes I do. You and your pussy cat nose.

Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

President Obama attacks success and therefore under President Obama we have less success and I will change that.

The only true solution would be a convention under which all the governments would bind themselves to defend collectively any country that was attacked.

Let a man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim: Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world yields, or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and you will succeed.

If we are attacked we can only defend ourselves with guns not with butter.

Men who are fighting themselves will always see love as an attack.

Wine is the first weapon that devils use in attacking the young.
