“I don't believe in surgery or any of that stuff: I have earned every g...” — David Essex Quote

I don't believe in surgery or any of that stuff: I have earned every grey hair, and I'm proud of it.

Dad was a longshoreman, a docker, and my mother scrubbed pub floors.

My mum loved dancing and played the piano and was gregarious. There were Gypsies on her side of the family. Her dad was from Cork and sometimes in summer I'd go there with my mum to meet up with that side of the family and pick fruit and hops.

For a scruffy London kid like me the sights and sounds of the countryside, the wind on your face, was a different world. I remember my Uncle Levi who was tall and handsome and told wonderful stories. He told me the natural life was important, not the material things.

I earned the opportunity to stand on stage with many senior artists at YG, and naturally, I gained stage experience.

You can't learn mental fortitude in a book. Those things are earned, not learned.

In today's world, it never looks good when you're suing somebody who earned $20,000 for writing a book over a period of a year or two.

The money I've earned has enabled me to keep my life in my own hands. I had a terrific body, and I got paid for using it.

I could have earned lots of crores by doing hundreds of more 'Rangeela' that came my way.
