Leo Sayer

What keeps a good face is no stress, and I refuse to worry.
Do you know what, I don't even like dancing.
Dancing as a thing to do is marvellous, but you've got to be bloody good at it. I was never good enough.
I think Bjork is sexy.
I'm not a golfing man.
I'm sure I could have been a rich man, but I never was.
In the past, it wasn't any big deal for people with talent to hang out together. Now we have the celebrity age, which has made a lot of things harder to do.
It's nice to feel wanted somewhere.
Wisdom is learned through experience, and sometimes experience is hard and bitter.
I'm quite intellectual. I read a lot and I'm very politically aware.
I'm impressed with Ed Sheeran. I think he has a terrific point of view and a great mentality but I sense there is someone in the background saying to him, 'We need more love songs, Ed.'
You won't find me at parties or the openings of movies and I don't hang around with David Beckham and Kanye West. So the paparazzi leave me alone, which means that I can do my shows, write music and then live a normal life.
There are a million misconceptions about me but the greatest is probably that people think I'm the king of disco. I love disco but it is only one part of me.
The Seventies was a golden era. Back then we had some incredible talent with bands like the Undertones, the Rolling Stones and artists like Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney.
Fame is always a bit crazy. You spend so long banging on the door trying to get in that when it suddenly opens, it's a very strange feeling.
You don't necessarily have to write a song to make it your own. After all, Elvis never wrote a song in his life.
I have had a partial kneecap replacement, an irritable bowel and three stents in my heart.
I have so many happy memories of Belfast and the shows I played there.
We used to spend a lot of time as kids in Northern Ireland, on the border and in southern Ireland as well.
My mum came from an incredibly big family.
I had to learn very quickly how to perform, how to act, how to look, to always say what I wanted to say in my songs.
I grew up on the south coast in Shoreham-by-Sea in a three-bedroom semi-detached home with a large garden shared by two properties.
A good microphone is an essential thing for a singer.
In the early Nineties, after my first round of financial problems, I started a studio in Kensal Road in London right at the time when no record company wanted to hear anything from Leo Sayer.
I must have 300 songs unreleased or unrecorded, lying around. I'm a production machine, it never stops.
As a former Mod my love affair with fashion has never waned and whenever I go on tour I am always desperate to hit the shops as soon as possible.
I'd much rather send my friends letters rather than emails.
I have always preferred paper and ink to a computer screen and I still write most of my lyrics by hand.
I particularly love the silk in Jakarta, the shoes in Tokyo and the amazing cloth from Thailand and Malaysia.
My dad died with a full head of hair, so I have that legacy.
Marriage can feel like putting a burden on each other and sometimes kids go with that, too.
I tend not to eat lunch because a midday meal makes me want to sleep in the afternoon.
There were people who went for serious mind enhancement, like Jimi Hendrix or John Lennon, although I didn't really need to do that. I was blessed with an incredibly fertile imagination.
I remember showing Prince around Warners' recording studios. He was the nicest kid.
Sometimes I feel like Leonard Cohen when he went off to become a Buddhist.
You can't get away from the right-wing politics but that's the same all over the world.
I've always been a tilter of lances against authority.
I'm not this cuddly, jumper-wearing, good-guy. I'm not David Cassidy. I'm more Johnny Rotten. I'm more Donny Tourette.
I occasionally suffer from eczema but only very mildly.
I would say that artists have to be good lovers.
I get frustrated but never depressed.
After my second No. 1, my record company, Warner Brothers, gave me a beautiful present - quite unique at the time - one of the very first Sony stereos which had speaker and radio included so I could record the radio and build up cassette tapes of music, gospel singing, adverts, evangelists.
I've found an extraordinary thing happens where I flash an entire finished song. I could be walking along, say over that bridge, and I see and hear the whole thing, words and music.
It happens in this business - The Rolling Stones were ripped off, so were the Beatles. George Harrison hardly had anything left in the end.
I stand a lot better chance to go further than Elton.
I was a big-headed little guy.
I don't believe in muckin' about and hiding ambition.
A bit of arrogance is nice every now and then.
