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

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

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.

It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man’s desire. Indeed it will…in a dull man.

I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.

You can’t be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it’s my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.

It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone, it’s not unusual to have fun with anyone. But when I see you hanging about with anyone, it’s not unusual to see me cry. I wanna’ die.

To me when I hear a song, its a positive thing because it reminds me of when I started!

What we do is try to pair them up so that both sides are happy.

Do yourself what you wish others to do.

You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren’t willing to do that.

They are so replete with love that whatever they do is a good action.

Whatever you do, do it from the heart

I don’t care if I get $50 million to do a film.

So what. What are you going to do? Jump off the Empire State Building?” It’s all still the same. The last day of your life is still going to be a day.

Whatever you do today you’ve got to sleep with tonight.
