“I’ve always liked to dance – I’ve got a natural rhythm.”

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.

I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner.

I think when you’ve lived a bit, you read more into the songs. I do, anyway. And you’re sort of living the songs rather than performing them,

I think it’s good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.

Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.

In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength.

A dancer must listen to his body and pay homage to it. Behind the movement lies this terrible, driving passion, this necessity. I won’t settle for anything less.

It is about learning to move with your grief, and dance.

Telling each other the truth and being who we are, and having space for the other person’s vulnerability in being who they are, allows us to move in a kind of dance together that’s very fluid and graceful.

The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it.

I should be on Broadway. You have to sing, you have to dance, you have to speak well, and I’m good at all of those!

Dancing begets warmth, which is the parent of wantonness. It is, Sir, the great grandfather of cuckoldom.
