I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

The cake had a trick candle that wouldn't go out, so I didn't get my wish. Which was just that it would always be like this, that my life could be a party just for me.

The wind plays its own music.

Where you have been isn't half as important as where you are headed. Keep your sights and focus on the future.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

I'm always a little innately shy when I first talk to a girl, and I think I always will be! But I think that's a good thing. You don't want to lose that.

I get the urge for going/But I never seem to go.

Have you ever noticed how many men in the Bible failed in the second half of life? Our enemy is so cunning that he will wait forty or even fifty years to set a trap.

We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us

My name is Raquel Welch. I am here for visual effects, and I have two of them.

The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to do. Our fathers found them so. We find them so. But are we not made better for the effort and scarifice?
