More quotes by Tom Jones
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone, it's not unusual to have fun with anyone. But when I see you hanging about with anyone, it's not unusual to see me cry. I wanna' die.
Tom Jones
I realize that singing is saving my life, once I started again.
Tom Jones
Dean Martin always dressed very well but then he was a good looking fella with a good physique so he could wear anything.
Tom Jones
Winning the Outstanding Contribution award is great, because you know you have won in advance. Previously, I have been really nervous during the ceremony because you have no idea if you are going to get called up on stage. This time I could relax and enjoy myself.
Tom Jones
I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.
Tom Jones
You can't lose the essence of a song. I try to enhance it more than anything else.
Tom Jones
I didn't like to be restricted, because when you're in a choir, you have a part to sing and you sing it. I always liked singing on my own.
Tom Jones
I couldn't do the heavy rock thing anymore. Noddy Holder was around kicking every singer in the ***. I never wanted to be a pop singer. Christ, how I hated Noddy!
Tom Jones
I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice.
Tom Jones
I've always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn't wear jewellery because it was stupid.
Tom Jones
Whenever I've been asked to be in a film, directors only want me to play myself... I'm fascinated by the thought of being an actor, but it's too hard. And I think Shakespeare-which has been suggested to me-might be a bit of a stretch.
Tom Jones
Elvis was always over the top. That's why he had that gold lamé suit! He designed his jumpsuits himself. He always said, If you're going to be a star, you should look like one.
Tom Jones
I think the people who really love the way somebody sings, they like to hear it. As long as you don't change your style completely or do something that has nothing to do with what you're known for, which I don't agree with.
Tom Jones
I want to find out more about how the Backstreet Boys get their incredible sound. I've got both their albums and I would love to cover one of their songs
Tom Jones
I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.
Tom Jones
Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That's why I love vegetables, you know what they're about!
Tom Jones
I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner.
Tom Jones
There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.
Tom Jones
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Tom Jones
Comfort me by a solemn Assurance, that when the little Parlour in which I sit at this Instant, shall be reduced to a worse furnished Box, I shall be read, with Honour, by those who never knew nor saw me, and whom I shall neither know nor see.
