I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.
From Tom Jones
I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.
You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.
I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.
Dean Martin always dressed very well but then he was a good looking fella with a good physique so he could wear anything.
I didn't have to play rugby that well, and I didn't have to play cricket that well, because I had this voice.
I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.
I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner.
When I started recording, I thought I'd be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance - and I've always wanted to do a gospel album.
Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.
