More quotes by 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
People never talked about my music. They just counted how many knickers were on stage.
Tom Jones
I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.
Tom Jones
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Tom Jones
I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.
Tom Jones
You are only a young talent, but we don't know how old your soul is.
Tom Jones
I haven't become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left.
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'm a lyric man - I'm always looking for meaningful songs.
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 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
My real name was Thomas Jones Woodward, so I dropped the Woodward.
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 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
You can't lose the essence of a song. I try to enhance it more than anything else.
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
Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That's why I love vegetables, you know what they're about!
Tom Jones
I've tried wearing more than one ring on one hand and it doesn't look good. It's overkill, I think. So I think a ring on either hand. Nine times out of ten I'll go for pinky rings, but not always.
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.
