I like the name Engelbert. It's unusual. But Humperdinck? Not so much.

I've always loved romantic songs.

If I'm off the road, I get itchy feet. It's my work, my job.

The best feeling I get is when I walk on stage.

I do believe I did see UFOs, in Leicester.

I hate holding grudges.

Eventually, when I recorded 'Release Me,' it sort of stamped my style, and I've followed in that vein ever since.

My fans have supported me in concerts around the world regardless of how well my current album was selling.

I'm a very good husband. And a very good father.

Fifty - it's going to be for the rest of my life. I'm going to count myself as a 50-year-old, sing like I'm 50, and act like I am, too. That's how I feel, and I believe if you have that frame of mind, it keeps you young.

I don't have the slightest idea of how to do vocal exercises or scales or anything like that, but I did always know to breath properly from the stomach. I'm a pop singer and never really felt I needed more.

I work out: I do a little jump-rope. I punch a bag in the gym. I do the treadmill. I do stationary-bike exercise. I maintain a healthy diet.

'Driving Home For Christmas' is just a great Christmas song because people are in their cars and driving home.

Retirement has never entered my mind for one moment because I don't feel the age I am - and I don't act it, and I don't speak like it. When God calls me, that's when I stop. Until then, I'm going to just keep going.

I'm very superstitious.

A man can be as sexy as he wants to be.

I recorded songs with a great deal of meaning, songs of lasting material. That's the legacy I want to leave behind - a legacy of love.

In my concerts, I'm always doing new songs, so someone seeing me for the first time or many times before will be pleasantly surprised and hopefully entertained.

I've always believed applause is food for an artist.

I have represented romance all my life. Some have called me the 'King of Romance.'

I know I haven't spent a lot of time with my children because my job takes me all over the world and takes me away from my children, but I've given them a good education and security. If anything happens to me, my children's future is well-secured. So I think I've done well as a father.

The Walker Brothers, they were a talented pair of people. I thought that Scott had a very fine voice.

I still get nervous before every performance.

At seventeen years old, I found out I could sing, and I got up and sang in a club, and I got a big hand, and I thought, 'I'm gonna continue this.' So that's how it all began.
