“Carrying 200 pounds of velvet and satin around a stage for 90 minutes – that’s man’s work, let me tell you.”

You’ve got to have this burning desire in your chest to succeed.

The first cut is the deepest.

I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.

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.

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.
