“Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris – they are things of beauty.”

Spread your wings and let me come inside.

I’m shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it’s in my nature to be generous. I look after people.

Well, there’s not a day goes by when I don’t get up and say thank you to somebody.

I’m very proud of my well-earned wrinkles, so show ’em.

I have a very lively and colourful show. It’s two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.

I’ve still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down.

I’ve always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it’s my song, I can make it seem honest.

I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion. It’s like me. I’ve been around long enough and I’ve come back in fashion.

You are my lover, you’re my best friend. You’re in my soul.

You can keep your Streisands.

I’m a rock star because I couldn’t be a soccer star.

It has gone past me now, the writing phase.

I suppose I miss the British cynicism and the humor.

I am passionate about football. My support for Celtic FC has got me through some hard times in my life. I still play regularly, too.

My love for you is immeasurable, my respect for you immense. You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you’re beauty and elegance.

I’ve always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.
