I came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.
If I had to perform in a comedy club I would bomb; I would be trying too hard.
I had the house rhythm section at a club called the Sundown in Hartford. Stan Getz came up and played with us.
I've been to Philadelphia a lot of times over the years, playing the old Celebrity Room and most of the other clubs around there that don't exist anymore.
They were the Saturday Club, a secret society of which only the four of them were aware and which none other could join.
Everybody that you could name would join in our audiences from, Laguardia on down. Everybody came. Everybody came to the Cotton Club.
I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.
I consider myself gay because at the end of the night, that's who I want to cuddle with. But when I go out, I go to straight clubs.
I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.
One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.
At school, myself and some pals, all football-daft, divided up the old English First Division and wrote off to half a dozen clubs each asking for a trial.
Golf is 90% mental. Once you know how to hold the club, swing it, it's all in the mind.
All the records I've made have pretty much been big club turntable records. You need to feel the rhythm.
I used to go to the Cleveland Comedy Club all the time. If there was a comic I liked, I'd go see him two or three times that week. Bob Saget was one of those guys.
You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.
In club football you have your players and staff with you all the time, preparing for two games a week, you know them inside out, you have a discipline over them.
To tell you the truth, man, we spend most of the time travelling in hotels, in festivals, in concert halls, clubs, airports. The most unenjoyable part is all the security at airports.
I do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I'm doing new stuff all the time.
I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.
Rayon: I'm Rayon. Ron Woodroof: Congratulations... fuck off and go back to your bed.
[last lines] Narrator: You met me at a very strange time in my life.
