I've always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn't wear jewellery because it was stupid.
Tom JonesOh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn't had tuberculosis when I was 12.
Tom JonesWhen I was young, I was interested more in (singing the songs). ... I can't say I'm enjoying it more now than I did before, because I loved it when I first sang in Wales, in a pub or a club. I loved it then, getting up and singing. Or as a kid in school, I've always loved to sing. But I think when you've been around a long time, it's even more satisfying to think that people are listening to me now, and I've been in the business for a long time.
Tom JonesTime is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.
