It Is Widely Held That Too Much

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.

I Come From A Coal-mining, Working-class Background. My Father Was A Coal Miner.

I Didn't Like To Be Restricted, Because When You're In A Choir, You Have A Part To Sing And You Sing It. I Always Liked Singing On My Own.

You Can't Lose The Essence Of A Song. I Try To Enhance It More Than Anything Else.

Whenever I've Been Asked To Be In A Film, Directors Only Want Me To Play Myself... I'm Fascinated By The Thought Of Being An Actor, But It's Too Hard. And I Think Shakespeare-which Has Been Suggested To Me-might Be A Bit Of A Stretch.
