I don't think people expect Bruce Springsteen to come out in a pink satin jacket, but Rod Stewart, they do. And I like doing it; I don't wear it just because I think I have to. I'm a very flamboyant person.
I want to make people aware of early detection.
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.
Because of my pride in my Scottish heritage, I used to say things like 'I don't mind buying a round of drinks but I don't buy two'. It was something I joked about which has come back to bite me on the ----. 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 am somewhat on the shy side. I know people might find that hard to believe.
Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.
I know we've been trying to arrange a date for the last three or four years, ... I leave it up to my managers.
I left it this long because I wanted to get it right this time
I've had tremendous success ... I'm very lucky,
The key to it all is trying to put my own stamp on these songs, because they have been done so many times-just not by someone who sang 'Hot Legs' and 'Maggie May!' Since this album will be the last one for now, I wanted to make it really special.
We are celebrating every moment with our beautiful boy, we just can't take our eyes off him.
