I was getting worried I may not become a grandfather, but the Lord has blessed me.

I'm not a natural songwriter.

I've still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down!

A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next.

I'm a gentleman.

I am passionate about football. My support for Celtic FC has got me through some hard times in my life. I still play regularly, too.

I've been a golden boy for too long.

I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion.

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.

Well, I've got nothing to hide. Absolutely nothing.

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.

Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.

There's nobody I look up to, really.

Even by rock star standards, I was pretty awful.

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.

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

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.

Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris - they are things of beauty.

I'm not a great lover of Madonna's voice. She's done very well with what she's got, and I'm sure my voice turns her right off, but she's not my favourite singer.

You can be with one of the most beautiful women in the world and still be unhappy.

Only a fool permits the letter of the law to override the spirit in the heart. Do not let a piece of paper stand in the way of true love and headlines.

You've got to have this burning desire in your chest to succeed.

I wish I knew what I know now before.

I've tried to have a regular haircut, but it just pops back up again, so this is the way it's going to be.
