Robbie Williams

Inside me there is a fat man dying to get out.

I don’t have anything that I treasure at all. They’re just things. I tend to buy an awful lot of stuff, like clothes and things. But I wouldn’t be bothered if my house burns down tomorrow.

There’s no point regretting things. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. Life’s too short to worry about things I’ve said.

I’ve deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.

I’ve never, ever, raised a fist to anybody in my life.

I feel like I’m always having to justify why I haven’t kept in touch with anyone from the old days in Stoke-on-Trent, but I’m like that with anybody. I don’t let anybody in. I just rely on myself.

I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience.

I’m a Leo with something odd rising.

I feel like I’m always having to justify why I haven’t kept in touch with anyone from the old days in Stoke-on-Trent, but I’m like that with anybody. I don’t let anybody in. I just rely on myself.

In Hollywood they say there’s no business like show business. In the hood they say there’s no business like ho’ business.

Oh God, don’t make me come across as a moaner. I think it’s unacceptable to moan about anything when you’re lucky enough to do what I do. What I’m trying to say is I’m more settled now. The thirties have calmed me down. I know who my real friends are, I know what I want to do. In your twenties, you just do everything. It’s just overload all the time. In the thirties, you learn that it’s OK to go to bed early if you want.

I’ve already done so much. The rest is just gravy, it’s like frosting on the cake

As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.

We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

I was the original pop star, knocking off as many birds as you could get in one night. Pete’s got a bit of a chip, because I used to get all the girls.

Ballet: Men wearing pants so tight that you can tell what religion they are.

We aren’t cool and never will be.

If I wasn’t Bob Dylan, I’d probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

I’m kind of jealous of the life I’m supposedly leading.

My dad said to me the other day, I really am an artistic person. I was shocked as I never saw him as a creative. I think me and my sisters are living out that side of him as my sister is another creative person, she’s a songwriter.

I’m not worried about legacy. I don’t even know what that actually means. I don’t think anyone knows. I hope at some point in my career when my name is mentioned, someone will say “Oh yeah he has a good song!” I’d be happy with that.
