Rod Stewart

• "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.“
• "At my age you don't go into fatherhood lightly.“
• "I want to go out at the top, but the secret is knowing when you're at the top, it's so difficult in this business, your career fluctuates all the time, up and down, like a pair of trousers.“
• "You shouldn't be in the music business if you're posing.“
• "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 love change, I need it.“
• "I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.“
• "What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.“
• "My dad bought me a guitar and people would ask me to play.“
• "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.“
• "You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it's all about family.“
• "Everybody sung in my family.“
• "Well, I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family, it's not bestowed on you by the government, you have to be nominated by the public.“
• "I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.“
• "There is this power that comes with being famous.“
• "Well, I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family, it's not bestowed on you by the government, you have to be nominated by the public.“
• "I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.“
• "I suppose I miss the British cynicism and the humor.“
• "I was very fortunate that I saved my money and I still do.“
• "I see myself at 7:30 in the morning and it's not too pretty.“
• "Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing.“
• "You shouldn't be in the music business if you're posing.“
• "I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.“
• "I have a very lively and colourful show. It's two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.“
• "There is this power that comes with being famous.“
• "You can be with one of the most beautiful women in the world and still be unhappy.“
• "I've been out with some extremely beautiful women who have had no sex appeal whatsoever. It really is a lot more than skin deep.“
