Rod Stewart

“Although I'm living in California, I'm very proud to be British.”

“Carrying 200 pounds of velvet and satin around a stage for 90 minutes - that's man's work, let me tell you.”

“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 started singing in the bathroom. Nothing was coming out. It was ghastly.”

“You know I think I could give a little more back to charity.”

“I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.”

“You know my wife, she's 6 ft 1 she can beat anyone up.”

“I've got Ferraris coming out me bum.”

“Between 21-30 women go through humungous changes. After that, they've generally achieved what they wanted, and they're more settled.”

“I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion.”

“What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.”

“I was getting worried I may not become a grandfather, but the Lord has blessed me.”

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

“Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees.”

“You can be with one of the most beautiful women in the world and still be unhappy.”

“Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house.”

“I do feel a certain love from the British public.”

“There is this power that comes with being famous.”

“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'm just delighted that this woman I love can be a mum again.”
