Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That's why I love vegetables, you know what they're about!

I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.

Whenever I've been asked to be in a film, directors only want me to play myself... I'm fascinated by the thought of being an actor, but it's too hard. And I think Shakespeare-which has been suggested to me-might be a bit of a stretch.

When I started off in Wales, I sang and accompanied myself with guitar in the '50s. And then I got a band together, which is a rhythm section, really. I used to do a lot of blues, and rhythm and blues, and '50s rock 'n' roll and country, and all kinds of stuff.

I've always liked to dance - I've got a natural rhythm.

I didn't have to play rugby that well, and I didn't have to play cricket that well, because I had this voice.

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
