When you are single it's because of some reason that you like being single. Jesus didn't find any problem with it. I don't find any problem with it. A lot of the time, people say 'What? You're still single, you've never got married? Why didn't you get married?' The answer is I haven't the faintest idea. Hide

[on Gary Glitter] Now Gary, all he did was to take his computer into PC World to get it repaired. They went into the hard drive, saw all these dodgy pictures and told the police and the police then 'Oh we've got a famous person ... Oh my goodness, yeah we'll have them'. But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that. It were for his own gratification. Whether it was right or wrong is, of course, it's up to him as a person. But they didn't do anything wrong but they are then demonised. If you said to that copper, what's Gary Glitter done wrong? Well nothing really. He's just sat at home watching dodgy films. Hide

My life from start to finish has been fun. Not fun at anybody else's expense, not fun causing trouble or bother or this or that. Straightforward fun and it's stood me well and I've managed to actually make a living out of having a bit of fun and I can recommend it. Life is just a breeze. You wake up if you're lucky, you don't want to upset anybody, you don't want anything from anybody, except you just want to share the fact that they're here, because life is people. And when I go outside whatever door I'm in, I'm in the middle of 60 million friends, and it's a great way to live. Hide

I happen to be in the pop business. You cannot go through the pop business without knowing lots of young ladies.

I never brought any harm to anybody. I never badmouthed anybody. It sounds a bit yucky but it's my nature, it's my lifestyle. And I never thought there was a profit in being bad. There might be a profit for a few days, a few weeks, even a few years, but sooner or later you get your comeuppance. I mean, I know a million bad people but I've no desire to be one, only because it's not my nature. Hide

I had a lively couple of years, with the tabloids sniffing about, asking round the corner shops - everything - thinking there must be something the authorities knew that they didn't. Whereas in actual fact I've got to be the most boring geezer in the world because I ain't got no past. And so, if nothing else, it was a ginormous relief when I got the knighthood, because it got me off the hook. Hide
