The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Rick Astley

  • Scientology always makes me think of that movie ‘V’ where that woman takes off her mask of human flesh to reveal her true, alien self.
  • I do have a thing for eating out; that’s one of life’s great middle-age pleasures.
  • As a kid, I saw those ticker-tape parades in the movies, and I was really chuffed to be in one.
  • I don’t trust politicians. I think that by the time they’ve made it, with the concessions they’ve had to make in that position, I don’t believe they still have the beliefs they had at the root.
  • When our daughter was born, a light went on for me – there was more to life than what I was doing. It felt like being famous for being a paint salesman. It wasn’t the dream I was sold on. I’d had enough of it.
  • I don’t get recognised until I’m on stage, and then I can walk off and forget about it. It’s great.
  • I’m a person who tries not to have regrets.
  • I’d had my time in the charts and made loads of money. I was no longer hungry for success.
  • I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated musicians, singers, performers – he is absolutely amazing, I think, and I think he’s probably got a bit of a rough ride occasionally because he became so mainstream and so popular.
  • I was the youngest of four kids, and Dad, who had a garden centre before he retired, came from a large Lancashire family. Every one of my uncles had their own business, including a post office, two fish and chip shops and a painting and decorating business.
