hard-work pride men
I love hard work. One Man, Two Guvnors was so physically tiring I ached all the time, but I took a massive amount of pride in the fact that I only ever missed two shows.

Fondue is not a good date food.
nice bad-day reputation
Sometimes you can have a reputation for not being relatable and nice because you had a bad day once.
people office singing
It was a chance meeting with a lady at Mariah Carey's record company who was here in our office, actually. And I pulled her in here to this very office that we're sitting in now, and I played her the clip of me and George Michael singing. And I was like, it's joyful. And that's what people want.
fondue faces cheese
Fondue is not a good date food. You end up with cheese dripping down your face.
heartbroken strong couple
There were a couple of years where I got a bit lost - I went out too much, I was a bit heartbroken, thought I was a bit more of a dude than I really was. I would love to go back and have a strong word with myself.
salad strawberries knows
Who puts strawberries in a salad? Seriously, is this a thing now? Is it a thing I don't know about? Is it an American thing? It can be. It's freaking me out.
rap want known
Rap and dance is pretty much what I want to be known for.
feelings might
I guess I have a faith. I have an overriding feeling that all of this can't be for nothing. But then I also fully understand that it might be.
shining want karaoke
If our show [Carpool Karaoke] shines, then I shine. I don't ever want to come out and make anything about me. I want to make it about them, make them the best that they can be. And the whole thing is a collaboration, those carpools.
honest being-honest wanted
To be honest, all I wanted to do, all I ever, ever wanted to do - I just wanted to perform.
dancing people singing
I just wanted to perform. I just wanted to perform in whatever capacity, whether it was acting, singing, dancing, comedy - whatever it was, I just loved it and felt at my absolute happiest when I was performing for people.
arrogance sometimes over-confidence
I sometimes have an over-confidence that can be viewed as arrogance.
dad careers people
It doesn't help anyone to judge their happiness or career by looking at where others may or may not be. Dad said it best: 'All the time you're looking left and right at other people, you're neglecting what's in front of you.If you focus on looking straight ahead, you can take the odd glance at the future.' He's got a way of saying things sometimes that just puts everything into perspective.
