I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.
I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.
You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it's all about family.
I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, 'You're too young to be married'. 'What? I'm 35'. Said, 'You're far too young. You haven't lived yet'. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad.
What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.
I want to go out at the top, but the secret is knowing when you're at the top, it's so difficult in this business, your career fluctuates all the time, up and down, like a pair of trousers.
I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.
I was very fortunate that I saved my money and I still do.
You shouldn't be in the music business if you're posing.
Well, I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family, it's not bestowed on you by the government, you have to be nominated by the public.
I suppose I miss the British cynicism and the humor.
My dad bought me a guitar and people would ask me to play.
Everybody sung in my family.
There is this power that comes with being famous.
I love change, I need it.
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.
