- I've signed breasts and bums. I've signed everything!
- The Bee Gees songs are just timeless. Great hooks, great moments in the lyrics and melody that you can't get out of your head. Once you hear one of them, you're singing it all day.
- When I was about ten years of age, my brother, my cousin Trevor and I were on holiday with our parents and we were in a karaoke situation in a hotel. I did karaoke and I did Groovy Kind of Love. It's the very first song I kind of performed in front of anyone, so it was a big deal for me.
- I have never mimed in my life - swear to God!
- I've never done this for the money. I don't care about it. I spend it as quick as I have it. My biggest extravagance is making sure my family can be with me as much as possible. I care about happiness for my family, and for joy. I love what I do. I love travel, I love meeting people, I love getting up on stage and performing in front of 20,000 people and I love watching people singing the songs back at me. It's unbelievable. Such a buzz! And I want to come over here and give it a go because it's America, the land of bloody opportunity. The streets are paved with gold, as they say. I guess it's just that whole thing of being able to go and conquer America. I believe you always have to set yourself a challenge because otherwise life gets very boring. And I'd hate to think this could ever get boring because I love it too much.
