With the war and everything that's going on, unless you're Susan Sarandon, the best route is to keep your mouth shut. For me it is, anyway!

I sit and talk to God, and he just laughs at my plans.

If you want to sell the most records, duet with me. If you need someone to come in and bless your record sales, I'm your man.

It's success, not fame, that is quite addictive. I'm addicted to a lot of things and, as it happens, success is one of them.

Everyone likes at least one Elvis song....Me, I love them all. He was, is and will remain the ultimate rock star.

I spent a lot of my twenties wanting a maid, really. I thought I wanted a relationship, but I just wanted somebody to fix and nurse me, and I'd take her hostage for six months. When you're 23, 24, you want to be in a relationship because they look brilliant - you've heard all the songs about it and seen all the movies and it looks great.

I have a gigantic ego and need to be at the top of the pile and be doing amazingly well; also, at the same time, I'm just pleased to be anywhere.
