I am a man of contradictions, I suppose.
Like everybody in show business, you think you're going to wake up one day, and it's all going to be taken away from you. I think we all share an insecurity in that way, everybody in show business - the ones I talk to, anyway.
How can my son not be straight after all I've said and done for him?
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.
You know, it's just my dream came true.
Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.
A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next.

I've still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down!

Well, I've got nothing to hide. Absolutely nothing.
Everybody sings from their diaphragm.
You can avoid the press if you really want to and I don't walk around with five security guards either because I think that just draws attention.
I have a very lively and colourful show. It's two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.
I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.
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.

I've been a golden boy for too long.
I've got Ferraris coming out me bum.
I don't have any social life or anything.
