Careers don't seem to be built up in the same way as they were in the 80s.

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

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.

I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

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

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away.

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.

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

People want performers, personality and drama, and you got that in the .

I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.

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

Sex does not exist for me at all. I haven't had a boyfriend for a long time. There were only three or four in my life up until now anyway.

I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.

Careers don't seem to be built up in the same way as they were in the 80s.

I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have.

I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.

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

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

The bottom line is that these athletes tend to be safer investments because they really value their marketing opportunities. They don't make as much money as during their active careers.

Not so much in Canada, but certainly in the US, as I'm sure you know, money is all, and if they can get another 26 programs of the same thing even though it advances the culture or those actor's careers not at all it doesn't matter.

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.

Like many students, I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock, and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.

There are two types of courage involved with what I did. When it comes to picking up a rifle, millions of people are capable of doing that, as we see in Iraq or Vietnam. But when it comes to risking their careers, or risking being invited to lunch by the establishment, it turns out that's remarkably rare.

I do think that, for instance, we've been very lucky to have theatrical careers and be associated with Shakespeare which sometimes gives you a kind of bogus kudos.

I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive.

Theater in Chicago will always be my first love. It started careers for me and about 50 of my friends. We all love coming back. As soon as the TV show is over, I'll be back in Chicago, doing live theater.

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.

Careers can disappear just as quickly as they're made, so I'm in no hurry.

No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers, if they lived alone, they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.

People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.
