I love to work. It fascinates me. And I love seeing who's coming up, who's got the charisma to last, who's got the intelligence to move on to other things. I'm so glad now that I'm stuck behind the piano, because when you're getting older it's very hard to waddle around the stage.

My old man is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, but my old lady she don't care.

I’ll not complain about your boring life, if you just leave me to mine

I'm not bored with my life. I'm not just making the records and touring, I would find that boring.

I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.

Make this man a saint now, OK?

I'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly.
