Elvis stole his sideburns from me.

I think prayer is one of the greatest healers around, more than medication.

There's something very special about playing Las Vegas, and I never tire of being here.

I am not a circus performer.

In the end, I didn't think I was good enough to use sax as a stage performer to get where I wanted, and thank God I chose my voice as my instrument instead. You need to be honest with yourself, and I was.

Gene Simmons and I look so much alike!

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 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.

Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends.

In my early days, I sang rock stuff, but the career didn't kick until '67.

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!

As long as I can make albums, I will.

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 the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision.

At seventeen years old, I found out I could sing, and I got up and sang in a club, and I got a big hand, and I thought, 'I'm gonna continue this.' So that's how it all began.

I still get nervous before every performance.

The Walker Brothers, they were a talented pair of people. I thought that Scott had a very fine voice.

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 have represented romance all my life. Some have called me the 'King of Romance.'

I've always believed applause is food for an artist.

In my concerts, I'm always doing new songs, so someone seeing me for the first time or many times before will be pleasantly surprised and hopefully entertained.

I recorded songs with a great deal of meaning, songs of lasting material. That's the legacy I want to leave behind - a legacy of love.

A man can be as sexy as he wants to be.

I'm very superstitious.

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.

'Driving Home For Christmas' is just a great Christmas song because people are in their cars and driving home.

I work out: I do a little jump-rope. I punch a bag in the gym. I do the treadmill. I do stationary-bike exercise. I maintain a healthy diet.

I don't have the slightest idea of how to do vocal exercises or scales or anything like that, but I did always know to breath properly from the stomach. I'm a pop singer and never really felt I needed more.

Fifty - it's going to be for the rest of my life. I'm going to count myself as a 50-year-old, sing like I'm 50, and act like I am, too. That's how I feel, and I believe if you have that frame of mind, it keeps you young.

I'm a very good husband. And a very good father.

My fans have supported me in concerts around the world regardless of how well my current album was selling.

Eventually, when I recorded 'Release Me,' it sort of stamped my style, and I've followed in that vein ever since.

I hate holding grudges.

I do believe I did see UFOs, in Leicester.

The best feeling I get is when I walk on stage.

If I'm off the road, I get itchy feet. It's my work, my job.

I've always loved romantic songs.

I like the name Engelbert. It's unusual. But Humperdinck? Not so much.

I was very unsure of myself when I was young and an ugly little beggar with protruding teeth, so I used to lie on them at night to try to straighten them.

I've seen many great performers on stage, from Dean Martin to Celine Dion, but nothing beats the first time I saw Elvis. There was no pomp, no pyrotechnics, nothing to distract you from the raw talent of the man in the white jumpsuit.

I have a very good sense of humour. I love telling jokes, especially on the golf course.

There was a time I'd do 300 shows a year.

My first manager chose the name Engelbert Humperdinck for me. My real name is Arnold George Dorsey. It didn't really quite hit the entertainment industry the way it should have. But when my manager chose the name Engelbert Humperdinck, I had a hit record immediately, which was called 'Release Me.'

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 thing Ed Sheeran is fantastic.

I can go in front of thousands of people on stage and not be afraid, but when there's just a few people, that scares me.

I love to smile. I love to laugh. I like to hear jokes. For instance, when I'm on the road, every night I watch 'Seinfeld.' I find it somewhere. I think it's so funny, and I watch the repeats over and over again.

I am a balladeer. People fall in love to ballads, and that is what makes the world go round.

The vocal chords are like most other muscles that need to be worked out.

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.
