When I'm really depressed because I have no money I buy a bottle of champagne with my last pennies - it's the best way to cheer yourself up.
Had I not been Roddy Llewellyn, I don't suppose anyone would have bothered to take an interest in my ambition to make a record.
I don't try to copy anybody - I mean, I'm not trying to become another Sinatra. I merely sing the way I speak.
