Quotes

  • Robbie: (on the re-formed band Take That) I'm really proud. I love their new album The Circus too - I haven't stopped listening to it. I'd love to be in the band again but I've got some unfinished business of my own to do first.
  • Robbie: (revealing the extent of his drug paranoia earlier in his life when he was just 16) When I got home American footballs were coming out of the TV. So I decided to go downstairs and stab myself. Mum came out of her room and said, 'What are you doing?'; I said 'I'm just going downstairs to stab myself - do you want a cup of tea?'
  • Robbie: I'm not here to be entertained tonight, they are. The most important thing to me is that they're going to go home really happy and inspired. That's what my job is.
  • Robbie: I've never seen anything like this in my life... and I don't think Britain will see anything like this for a long time to come.
  • Robbie: I don't want people to feel self-conscious at my shows... I think that's why they've encouraged to lose your cool and be a part of it.
  • Robbie: They should expect that every night I turn up and get on stage. They should know I'm doing my best. I want them to know that it's not easy as I make it look. I want them to know that, yeah, it's really scary - thanks for coming...
  • Robbie: The bits I really enjoyed about the first Robbie Williams tour was where I'd just talk to the audience and be irreverent and funny and honest and sentimental.
  • Robbie: I want you to remember something for me. This is Robbie Williams. I'm a singer. I'm a songwriter. I'm a born Entertainer.
  • Robbie: I couldn't live without my music, man. Or me mum.
  • Robbie: I live alone, and it's good. I stick on a video, watch telly. I am a bit lonely sometimes, but I laugh at my own jokes and dance around by myself when I'm making something to eat. I'd like to do a bit more reading maybe. I've tried, but somehow I just can't get into that book thing yet.
  • Robbie: 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.
  • Robbie: 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.
  • Robbie: As a 29-year-old, the only thing that I can possibly think is that if I'm still performing at 50, it's because I'll have had disastrous marriages and I have to pay for them.
  • Robbie: An awful lot of gay pop stars pretend to be straight. I'm going to start a movement of straight pop stars pretending to be gay.
