My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body.

I know I haven't spent a lot of time with my children because my job takes me all over the world and takes me away from my children, but I've given them a good education and security. If anything happens to me, my children's future is well-secured. So I think I've done well as a father.

The pomp, power, and military bombast of 'La Marseillaise' draws me into the history of France and my own. The surname I was born with was French: D'Orsay; perhaps an ancestor was amongst those troops that marched to this evocative anthem for the first time as they entered Paris 200 years ago!

I don't have the slightest idea of how to do vocal exercises or scales or anything like that, but I did always know to breath properly from the stomach. I'm a pop singer and never really felt I needed more.

There is no harm in showing your feelings. It's not unmanly.

Elvis stole his sideburns from me.

In the end, I didn't think I was good enough to use sax as a stage performer to get where I wanted, and thank God I chose my voice as my instrument instead. You need to be honest with yourself, and I was.

I like the name Engelbert. It's unusual. But Humperdinck? Not so much.

I think prayer is one of the greatest healers around, more than medication.
Engelbert Humperdinck -
I have a very staunch following, and I've had fan clubs all over the world. And these people I term as my cheerleaders - my spark plugs.
Engelbert Humperdinck -
I don't think you should rely on medicine. I think you should rely upon herbal doctors, acupuncture, and doctors outside the medical world, with different kinds and forms of treatment.
Engelbert Humperdinck -

Engelbert Humperdinck -
In my early days, I sang rock stuff, but the career didn't kick until '67.

When I'm working, I always eat around 5:30-6 P.M. I don't eat anything after that because I don't think you should put anything into your body before bed.

I've been to New Zealand before, many times. And of course it has a significance to me because I do have something that's very special in New Zealand. I have 10 Guitars, which is a very popular song, and I understand it's like the second national anthem over there.
Engelbert Humperdinck -
I never wanted to be a movie star because it takes up too much of your time. I prefer the style of touring and making new music.

There are times when adverse publicity has hit my life, but these things are the growing pains of showbiz marriage.
Engelbert Humperdinck -
I have a very good sense of humour. I love telling jokes, especially on the golf course.
Engelbert Humperdinck -
When I first got successful, I was particularly aware of being immaculate at all times, so I would get on a plane in one outfit, and get off in another. It doesn't happen in today's world, but when you are met by the press at both ends, you do have to.

The job of an artist is to entertain and not get involved with politics. We give the people in the countries we are visiting a good show - that's the purpose of an entertainer.
