Do you know what they say about big hands? Big gloves!
Engelbert Humperdinck
I had a home in Las Vegas for about eight years, starting in 1978.
Ghosts exist.
From me growing up with a large family and everybody singing around the Christmas tree, it was a wonderful, wonderful upbringing.
I play golf and ride my motorcycle - my Harley - around the hills of California.
A man can be as sexy as he wants to be.
There used to be Engelbert dolls with sideburns. Now they sell Elvis dolls with the sideburns, but I don't begrudge him that.
I drink a lot of water and a lot of wine. I'm a wine drinker. Red wine, preferably.
I really enjoy what I do. And if you want a lasting career, you have to work at it. Keep it current. Keep it fresh.
I don't want to slow down. It's my life. I love being on the road and giving concerts.
I had a mustache for 10 years.
Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends.
When I'm performing, sometimes a lyric will touch on my personal life, and it can be difficult to sing. For instance, when I sing 'How I Love You,' I'll choke up.
The Walker Brothers, they were a talented pair of people. I thought that Scott had a very fine voice.
I think prayer is one of the greatest healers around, more than medication.
Gene Simmons and I look so much alike!
I played to the biggest audience I've ever played to in my life in New Zealand. I couldn't see the end of the crowd. I understand it was over 200,000 people in a park somewhere.
There are so many people getting dementia. It is like an epidemic now. It is a terrible disease because once you get it, your life changes completely.
I bought Jayne Mansfield's mansion in L.A. after her death. I had met her in England and remembered her perfume. When I moved in, I could smell her, and I saw her apparition.
There is no harm in showing your feelings. It's not unmanly.
I always take a hot shower before I go onstage. It's so refreshing. I let the steam into my throat. That's the way I warm up my vocal cords - in the shower. I start by humming and then finally singing.
I am a faith healer. My prayers have immense power, which I utilise whenever I can.
I have always looked after my little girl - my wife - and made sure she is in the safest hands possible at all times. She was always an unbelievably strong woman.
I learned a lot from Elvis. He never took his image seriously. So many performers today put their image before themselves. It can ruin them. Like Elvis, I never took my image seriously.
I know I haven't spent a lot of time with my children because my job takes me all over the world and takes me away from my children, but I've given them a good education and security. If anything happens to me, my children's future is well-secured. So I think I've done well as a father.
I don't think you should rely on medicine. I think you should rely upon herbal doctors, acupuncture, and doctors outside the medical world, with different kinds and forms of treatment.
I've had many highs in my career, and Eurovision has been a wonderful experience.
The pomp, power, and military bombast of 'La Marseillaise' draws me into the history of France and my own. The surname I was born with was French: D'Orsay; perhaps an ancestor was amongst those troops that marched to this evocative anthem for the first time as they entered Paris 200 years ago!
I've had Harleys on both sides of the Atlantic, so I'm a lover of a Harley motorcycle.
I try to keep myself young as possible. I vow to never let my hair go grey.
I don't ever want to think my time is up as a performer. I have been afforded the opportunity to sell 150 million albums, to travel to places I never thought I would go. I'm going to keep on performing. I hope it never ends.
My job is to entertain people and make them happy. I'm blessed to be able to do that.
I've always believed applause is food for an artist.
I do like rude jokes. They're men jokes.
My first manager was Gordon Mills, who I'd met right at the beginning. We shared a flat in London and traveled with rock bands doing one-nighters. Later, he became a songwriter and manager whose stable was Tom Jones, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and myself.
There are times when adverse publicity has hit my life, but these things are the growing pains of showbiz marriage.
'La Marseillaise' sounds best ringing around a packed sports stadium. Its lyrics evoke revolution, conflict, taking up arms, preparing for the fight - everything my music does not! Even in our largely peaceful times, it retains its rousing, martial air that gives it a power that hasn't diminished.
When the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision.
Elvis stole his sideburns from me.
I had tuberculosis in my mid-20s. I didn't have much work, was living in a damp London basement in a sleeping bag, and ate only every other day. I looked rough and felt very run down.
My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body.
When I'm working, I always eat around 5:30-6 P.M. I don't eat anything after that because I don't think you should put anything into your body before bed.
I have a nine handicap in golf - I can always find time for a round - and I'm on my treadmill and cross-trainer every day.
I'm very superstitious.
I have a very good sense of humour. I love telling jokes, especially on the golf course.
I don't put faces on a dartboard. I just love the game, and I think I play it very well.
I do believe I did see UFOs, in Leicester.
'Driving Home For Christmas' is just a great Christmas song because people are in their cars and driving home.
Retirement has never entered my mind for one moment because I don't feel the age I am - and I don't act it, and I don't speak like it. When God calls me, that's when I stop. Until then, I'm going to just keep going.
I hate holding grudges.
