Robbie Williams

It’s a huge responsibility being a solo act.

I think the way for me to win America’s heart is to perform, and if I really was concerned about breaking big then there’d be a tour.

I’ve been watching what I eat. When I was putting on all the weight, I was drinking Guinness and not eating. I didn’t have room to because I was drinking all the time.

Some of the best times in my life happened under the influence of drugs… I’d still be doing it if I could make good judgement calls. I’d still be doing it if I didn’t blow up to the size of an aircraft hangar, because it was a great time.

I’m really, really enjoying myself, I seem to have a lot of purpose in my life. I’m enjoying what I’m doing, you know, and people are liking it. So, it’s great, you know.

I still find trusting people quite hard. I’ve got a couple of mates that I do let in, but that’s it. It’s something I’ve got to sort out-I cut people off.

Kourtney has a new therapist and a new bf and I don’t really know which one is this problem

Comedy is acting out optimism.

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.

[on The Who’s performance at Woodstock] It was the worst gig we ever played.

With my platform, I want to try and do good things and help people.

I’d like to win an Oscar.

This is what I’ve learned about women: A guy’s walking down the street and he kicks a Coke can, and out comes a genie, and the genie says: “I will grant you one wish.” The guy says, “I don’t need anything. I’m happy. I play tennis. I sing in a rock group. But there is just one thing. I want to go to Florida and I hate flying. Can you build me a bridge from London to Miami?” And the genie scratches his head and says, “I don’t think I can do that. That’s a bit too much.” So the guy says, “Wait a minute: women. Can you explain the ways of a woman’s mind?” And the genie looks at him and says, “About that bridge. Do you want a handrail and lights?” It’s a handrail and lights, man. Whenever there’s trouble with women we all go, “Just give me the bridge.” It’s much easier.

I don’t see Johnny Depp as attractive!

Dictionary.com defines ‘Amy Poehler’ as ‘results not found. I take that as a testament to your uniqueness.’

[on her role in “Star Wars: Episode II”] That was easy, I just stood by Natalie Portman looking very serious.

I’ve never been cool and I don’t really care about being cool. It’s just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted.

Everything we do needs to be exceptional – if it’s not exceptional we don’t put it out there, because the biggest high for us is when we read comments from our customers saying that they can’t live without them.

The first album I ever got was “Like a Virgin”. It was during the Iran Contra conflict-I thought she was saying, “Like a Persian”.

When you go to the Oscars, don’t dress like you’re never going to go anywhere again. Don’t take such a big swing.

If the songs aren’t there and you throw a TV set out of the window, who cares?
