My father, being a Scotsman, taught me to look after finances. I'm shrewd. Some people may call me tight.
I'm shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it's in my nature to be generous. I look after people.
I do take a lot of pride in my look and I work out - do work out a lot.
I had this almost Dickensian look. I was quite fragile.
There's nobody I look up to, really.
She's the only woman I've ever had a sexual fantasy about. With me, looks come first, and she's everything a woman should be. She's blonde and beautiful, she's got the most incredible legs - etcetera, etcetera. And she's French as well. (on Brigitte Bardot)
We are celebrating every moment with our beautiful boy, we just can't take our eyes off him.

That was a turning point in my career, ... We've sold in excess of 3 million (copies) in the U.S. alone.
I was in disbelief, ... I play a lot of soccer, I keep fit. This doesn't happen to me. Like most people, they think it won't happen to them.
I still love Rachel very, very much indeed and I hope and pray that she will eventually come back. There has been no bitter bust-up and no one else is involved. It is not about something I've done and it's not about something she has done.
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.
You learn a lot about yourself doing physical work.
You know, it's just my dream came true.
