I had this little handheld transistor radio that I used to sleep next to.
I've been a golden boy for too long.
I've always been worried about the band but I've got to the point now where I think it's time to start thinking about myself a bit more.
The most memorable is always the current one. The rest just merge into a sea of blondes. (On wives)
I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.
I'll sing over some chords, searching, what does [the music] conjure up, where's the melody taking you? I deliberate over the lyrics, I really do. I'll come up with one line in a day, and then it might be a couple of days before I come up with the rhyming line. It's never been easy for me.
I'm very proud of my well-earned wrinkles, so show 'em.
My big brother still thinks he's a better singer than me.
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.
The secret is to moisturize the face. I've been doing that since I was 17 years old. (on looking young)
If the father is not straight naider will be the son.
My dad bought me a guitar and people would ask me to play.
There's nobody I look up to, really.
The first cut is the deepest.
