My personality is very good for nurturing. I'm very empathetic to my artists. You speak to anyone who's worked with me and they'll say, "Oh yeah, Steve's great. He doesn't have the ego."

Men are shallow - we don't remember things like women do. Or we don't bring it up and blurt it out at inappropriate moments. When bridges are trying to be built, we don't detonate them.

Lots of people say it's the song. For me, it's not always the song - there's something bigger: the spirit of an artist.

There is very little genuine rock and roll out there at the moment - but Steve Conte has hit the nail on the head with this one!

I couldn't turn down The Rolling Stones. A real man would never turn down the chance of working with legends like them.

I really need to push myself and try my hardest every time, because I come from the premise that I'm not very good and I have to give my best. Otherwise, I don't deliver.

I can't make two records at the same time. Whatever I do, I have to concentrate on and put everything in, because if I don't, I'm just not good.

For me, the singer is actually the most important element. When I work with someone, it all comes down to whether I like the singer or not.

I am not a rock producer. I don't see that. I once turned down Guns N' Roses. I don't like shouting. I'm a melody guy. I love great melody.

I am completely serious. When I decide to do something, I decide to really do it.

I do believe in art and commerce coming together.

No matter how bad your life gets if you Execute yourself it won't get better!

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

The physician heals, Nature makes well.

I always dreamed that I'd be a singer. I didn't dream about being a star or anything. I just knew I wanted to sing.

The egotism of woman is always for two.

The true sweetness of wine is one flavor

Normally I'm really lucky because I can go down to my local shops and no one cares. I take the Tube and the bus so it's kind of the perfect balance.

I like to find comedy or something interesting to look at with whatever I'm working on.

From the height from which the great look down on the world all the rest of mankind seem equal.

When Caesar says, 'Do this', it is performed.
