I want to dance, I want her ass. Why is she ignoring me?

I've been out with some extremely beautiful women who have had no sex appeal whatsoever. It really is a lot more than skin deep.

I was never a good-looking bloke. Not by a long chalk.

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.

I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.

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

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason. ... I wrote some of my best love songs ever when I was unhappy and my saddest love songs when I was very much in love. When I wrote 'You're in My Heart', which is an uplifting song, I had just broken up with-Now who had I broken up with?. ... Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing.
