When the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision.
Engelbert Humperdinck
My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body.
As long as I can make albums, I will.
The pomp, power, and military bombast of 'La Marseillaise' draws me into the history of France and my own. The surname I was born with was French: D'Orsay; perhaps an ancestor was amongst those troops that marched to this evocative anthem for the first time as they entered Paris 200 years ago!
In my early days, I sang rock stuff, but the career didn't kick until '67.
Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends.
I always take a hot shower before I go onstage. It's so refreshing. I let the steam into my throat. That's the way I warm up my vocal cords - in the shower. I start by humming and then finally singing.
When I'm working, I always eat around 5:30-6 P.M. I don't eat anything after that because I don't think you should put anything into your body before bed.
Gene Simmons and I look so much alike!
In the end, I didn't think I was good enough to use sax as a stage performer to get where I wanted, and thank God I chose my voice as my instrument instead. You need to be honest with yourself, and I was.
I am not a circus performer.
There's something very special about playing Las Vegas, and I never tire of being here.
I think prayer is one of the greatest healers around, more than medication.
Elvis stole his sideburns from me.
I try to keep myself young as possible. I vow to never let my hair go grey.
I've had Harleys on both sides of the Atlantic, so I'm a lover of a Harley motorcycle.
The man who became a big influence in my life was Dean Martin. He started my career in Las Vegas. When I came to Las Vegas, he put his name on the marquee: 'Dean Martin presents Engelbert Humperdinck.' And I'm the only one he ever did that for.
I never wanted to be a movie star because it takes up too much of your time. I prefer the style of touring and making new music.
My job is to entertain people and make them happy. I'm blessed to be able to do that.
I don't ever want to think my time is up as a performer. I have been afforded the opportunity to sell 150 million albums, to travel to places I never thought I would go. I'm going to keep on performing. I hope it never ends.
I always feel discontent, like there's somewhere else to go, somewhere else to be. I'm a very ambitious person.
I've had more paternity suits than casual suits.
'La Marseillaise' sounds best ringing around a packed sports stadium. Its lyrics evoke revolution, conflict, taking up arms, preparing for the fight - everything my music does not! Even in our largely peaceful times, it retains its rousing, martial air that gives it a power that hasn't diminished.
I'm a TV buff. I watch television.
