I'm really, really enjoying myself, I seem to have a lot of purpose in my life. I'm enjoying what I'm doing, you know, and people are liking it. So, it's great, you know.
Ich konnte mich nie respektieren, für das was ich machte.
I'd make a better U.S. president than George W. Bush. Bush is an idiot. I'm a better public speaker than him. It makes you wonder about the voters.
Es steckt ein furchtbarer Teufel im mir. Und er kommt nicht hervor, um sich gegen andere zu richten; er will nur, dass ich mich selbst zerstöre. Ich habe eine Krankheit, die mit meiner eigenen Stimme zu mir spricht und zu mir sagt, ich wäre nicht krank. Und das ist meine dunkle Seite.
Inside me there is a fat man dying to get out.
Oft meint man, ich schaue jemandem aus dem Publikum in die Augen. In Wirklichkeit schaue ich die Person überhaupt nicht an, denn ich habe Angst vor ihrer Reaktion, Angst, etwas zu sehen, was ich nicht sehen will.
I couldn't live without my music, man. Or me mum.
Es interessiert mich nicht, wenn Leute glauben, ich sei schwul. Ich sage nicht, dass ich nicht darüber nachgedacht habe, denn das tut jeder beim Erwachsenwerden.
The problem is, I don't think I've got too much to offer at the minute. I'm busy working on myself. This sounds like real therapy talk, but it's like, you've got to be happy with yourself before you can go out and get yourself a girl.
Viele Künstler wollen nicht, dass die Zuschauer eine gute Zeit haben, sie wollen, dass sie ihrer Musik zuhören. Mich interessiert das überhaupt nicht. Ich will, dass meine Fans herumhüpfen, singen, lachen, weinen. Um das zu erreichen, arbeite ich hart.
I still find trusting people quite hard. I've got a couple of mates that I do let in, but that's it. It's something I've got to sort out - I cut people off.
Gefragt zu werden, ob du schwul bist, ist nur schwierig für jemanden, der Schwulsein falsch, schmutzig oder abartig findet. Ich denke nicht so.
Everybody who's anybody has been competitive and over-sensitive and a bit silly. Look at Paul McCartney, look at Elton John. They're jealous of Justin Timberlake. I'm sure they were jealous of me when I was in my imperial phase.
Wenn ich die Bühne betrete, werde ich ein völlig anderer Mensch. Auf der Bühne bin ich ein vor Charisma sprühender Popstar. Abseits davon fällt es mir schwer, ein vernünftiges Wort hervorzubringen. Ich weiß nicht, wie man mit anderen redet. Und so geht es mir, solange ich mich erinnern kann, abgesehen von meiner Kindheit. Als ich »Robbie-mit-den-vielen-Freunden« war.
Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.
Die Leute wollen glauben, dass ich mit Geri Halliwell zusammen bin. Bin ich nicht. Wir sind lediglich sehr gute Freunde.
There is a history of gay people pretending to be straight. I want to balance the sides. I'm a straight person pretending to be gay. I've had a lot of people to imitate. It's easy when you're British; we're camp by nature, anyway.
Wenn ich jetzt nicht Robbie Williams wäre, würde ich vermutlich für einen Platz im Big-Brother-Haus vorsprechen.
I'm still looking for the rules of what is and isn't pop music. I'm pop. I mean, of course I am. What isn't pop? There should be a pop amnesty where everyone reclaims it.
Ich glaube nicht, dass mein Lebensstil normal ist. Allerdings hängt das davon ab, was man für normal hält. Für mich ist er normal. Oder, nein, das ist er nicht, er ist völlig anormal, das ändert sich von Tag zu Tag. Aber ich habe noch nie jemanden kennengelernt, der normal ist. Alle haben ihre seltsamen Marotten und Perversionen. Oder eine merkwürdige Art zu denken oder zu leben. Jeder Mensch ist anormal.
The entertainment industry and my place in it is a place where you burn brightly for as long as you can.
Wenn ich trinke und Drogen nehme, bin ich der letzte Mensch auf Erden, mit dem ich meine Tochter ausgehen lassen würde. Aber hoffentlich wird der Mensch, zu dem ich werde, jemand sein, mit dem ich meine Tochter ausgehen lassen würde.
There's no point regretting things. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Life's too short to worry about things I've said.
Es ist doch ganz einfach: Diese Männer mögen Männer, jene Frauen mögen Frauen, einige Frauen mögen Männer, und einige Männer mögen Frauen.
I'm sure that when my daughter will bring home her first boyfriend, I'll be so intimidating that he'll run away, but embarrassing as well, just to have a bit of fun.
Wer kein überdimensionales Ego zur Schau stellt, wird kein Popstar!
I enjoy nakedness. I am a bit of a naturist at heart.
Ich habe damals all die Stars im Fernsehen gesehen und wollte sein wie sie: erfolgreich. Berühmt werden, ob als Musiker, Schauspieler oder Massenmörder, war mir egal. Heute habe ich es geschafft.
I can do anything I want to do really, I might as well.
Ich bin der einzige Mann, der von sich sagen kann, dass er in der Boygroup Take That war und in zwei Spice Girls.
People change. I wouldn't like to be accountable for the interviews I've done, or the person I was when I was 20, 21.
Ich bin ein gieriger Kerl. Ich will von allen geliebt werden.
It's a huge responsibility being a solo act.
Ich bin enorm kurzsichtig. Glauben Sie mir: Es ist für die Gesundheit meiner Mitmenschen besser, wenn ich das Autofahren sein lasse.
Do I think I'm a national treasure? I don't see why not? I don't see why I shouldn't be. I'm a good lad, really.
Ich bin 1,85 Meter groß, Wasserman, spiele gern Fußball. Und bin durchschnittlich im Bett.
There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.
Ich sorge mich nicht um Geld. Hauptsache, ich kann mir ein paar Turnschuhe leisten und ab und zu in einem netten Restaurant essen gehen. Das bedeutet Glück für mich.
I'm mainstream, and I have pretty chart-tastic tastes. I don't often veer away from a big melodic song with big words for big stadiums.
Es war sehr amüsant, die drei Griffe zu finden, die es braucht, um die nächsten vier Alben zu füllen.
I like to be comfortable, but I do enjoy being a British gent and dressing up a bit.
Ich ziehe Ärger magisch an. Aber ich will mich darüber nicht beschweren. Immerhin habe ich selbst einiges dazu beigetragen.
I show off - I'm a very good show off. It's what I do, it's what I'm good at.
Ich bin ein Bluffer, ein Entertainer. Das ist alles, was ich kann. Also kann ich auch gleich versuchen, der beste Entertainer überhaupt zu werden.
Look at Paul McCartney, look at Elton John. They're jealous of Justin Timberlake. I'm sure they were jealous of me when I was in my imperial phase.
Meine Pläne? Die Weltherrschaft!
I'm a born entertainer. When I open the fridge door and the light goes on, I burst into song.
People say you've got to be OK with your own company, but tell me why?
I think there are ghosts. I haven't seen or heard anything. I've definitely felt something, but it's not scary.
Perhaps I'm absolutely bonkers and don't know it. Perhaps I'm psychotically mental.
Because I'm no longer a pop star 24 hours a day, I'm no longer bogged down by the stupid stuff that used to cripple me. I don't bruise easily any more.
I'm not educated. I left school when I was 16, with no qualifications.
The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains, planes, wine bars... and quite a few car parks!
I'm quite open to the fact that I might be a tinfoil-hat freak.
I'm conscious of age, but I'm more suspicious of it than anything.
I've deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.
There aren't many great adverts for marriage or parenthood. It always looks so stressful, and that's what I've been scared of. What you don't realise is how much you're going to get back.
I've had to make friends with an awful lot of bad fashion choices.
I am not as bad as people would suggest. Not as good as I would like to be.
In Los Angeles, I feel connected to a hubbub of strangeness. And I enjoy that; I like strangeness.
When people come out of rehab, they usually go to secondary rehab for another six months and then enter back into society gradually. But I came out and did Top Of The Pops straight away!
On an emotional level, success in America would be terrible for me; it would be insane. I really, seriously, never want to be famous here.
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.
You know, I am a mainstream person with mainstream tastes, and I want to hear the hits.
You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them.
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.
I think dysfunctional people are being funneled into very corporate behaviour. Look at the Brits... no one's fighting, and it's boring.
I want a hit. I don't think anybody spends 12 months writing and recording an album, making something cool, and says, 'Great, I hope this doesn't sell.' I don't understand that mind-set. I want hits: a big bunch of them.
I have only one ambition, which is to be famous.
I did the rock 'n roll-pop cliche of getting burnt out. I'm not the first person that happened to, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
My dad sent Frank Sinatra a dollar bill to autograph, and when it came back, signed, he had it framed: it was always up on the wall in whatever flat we were in.
It's success, not fame, that is quite addictive. I'm addicted to a lot of things and, as it happens, success is one of them.
I like me food. I also don't like me exercising. It's something me don't do very well. But it's something I've got to get into.
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.
I've never, ever, raised a fist to anybody in my life.
I'm trying to not follow fashion. I don't even like the word. But I do like clothes, and I like nicely cut clothes that last and that are built to be worn for the next 30 years.
If you want to sell the most records, duet with me. If you need someone to come in and bless your record sales, I'm your man.
I'm a bit hesitant to do anything because I'm actually kind of lazy and I'd like an easier life from now on. The world's a massive place with lots of early mornings and late starts when you're working.
Do I believe in aliens? No. I think there could be. Do I believe in God? No, I think there could be. Do I believe that Jesus actually existed? No. I think he could have done. A few things I've seen. A few things I've read. A few things I've watched have sparked my interest. Do I think it could all be rubbish? Yeah. I do.
