I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, 'You're too young to be married'. 'What? I'm 35'. Said, 'You're far too young. You haven't lived yet'. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad.
I was very fortunate that I saved my money and I still do.
As you get older, your metabolism slows down. You've got to admit it. It's nothing to be ashamed of if you have lived your life to the full.
Like everybody in show business, you think you're going to wake up one day, and it's all going to be taken away from you. I think we all share an insecurity in that way, everybody in show business - the ones I talk to, anyway.
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 know we've been trying to arrange a date for the last three or four years, ... I leave it up to my managers.
I left it this long because I wanted to get it right this time
I trust them, ... I just OK the schedules and I turn up to sing, basically.
I've had tremendous success ... I'm very lucky,
The key to it all is trying to put my own stamp on these songs, because they have been done so many times-just not by someone who sang 'Hot Legs' and 'Maggie May!' Since this album will be the last one for now, I wanted to make it really special.
Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house.
I deliberate over the lyrics; I really do. I'll come up with one line in a day, and then it might be a couple of days before I come up with the rhyming line. It's never been easy for me.
I've tried many other hairstyles, but it just doesn't work.
You know, it's just my dream came true.
