I don't hate Rod Stewart. I think he's an incredible talent, funny, darling. Just didn't make a good boyfriend.
That's the reality, and you can't overlook it. Rod can be a free agent, but we don't want get ahead of ourselves. Rod is the starter now and at some point we'll address that. Rod's got the job and the experience and you hope Gerald learns from him.
I knew I was famous the day I played football with mates in L.A. I scored a goal and Rod Stewart jumped on top of me. I thought: 'I had a poster of you on my wall when I was 12.'
I'm in a class by myself, along with people like Rod Stewart.
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
I'm younger than Rod Stewart and Bruce Springsteen, but I'm still getting up there in age.
Before birds get sucked into jet engines, do they ever think, Is that Rod Stewart in first class?
Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

I saw The Jeff Beck Group at the Marquee Club in 1967, when he was with Rod Stewart, and holy smokes, they were amazing.
I went to my first live concert when I was seven, with my mum Eleanor, a staunch Rod Stewart fan. I've never looked back.
Many times - especially when I'm playing an historical character - I want to be really on target with how I create that character and really nuanced with who that human being might be. But I don't want to lose the likeness of me or the depth of my own personality. So meditation and my spirituality has helped me to realize that, yes, I want to get out of the way but I also want the ability to hold on to what the audience likes of what they see of me.
I must have been a really tough kid to corral. I got disciplined quite frequently. I guess that would be the best way to say it. The rod, I wore out the rod. You know, Spare the rod and spoil the child? Well, I wore out the rod.
Science is a hobby, and I'm really into it, but it's not my job. My job is to learn about comedy and to make people laugh. Science, for me, is probably a bit like Danny Baker's love of football or Rod Stewart's obsession with train sets.
I discovered that it was a lonely world being a solo artist. Then I started working with another solo artist, Rod Stewart, and he used to tell me how lonely he was!
One song I do is 'The First Cut is the Deepest.' I try to remind people I wrote that song, not Rod Stewart.
