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

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)

I can definitely say the older I’ve got the better I’ve become at being a dad and a husband.

I’ll tell you what I love. Sending back bottles of wine that aren’t right in restaurants in France! Whoa! I love the French, but I do find their wine snobbery something unbearable.

Obviously, I haven’t really progressed that much at my craft.

Optimism is my best defense.

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

You shouldn’t be in the music business if you’re posing.

I am always crazy for hot women. I am like a rabbit. I could do it anytime, anywhere.

I must really confess right here, the attraction was purely physical.

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.

Age is a hell of a price to pay for wisdom.

When I turned 60, it didn’t bother me at all.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind. Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine.

A woman has the age she deserves.

Relationships are like Rome – difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the ‘golden age’, and unbearable during the fall.

Who acts, shall endure. So speaks the voice of the age-old wisdom.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.

From the age of three, I played every day-morning, afternoon and night.
