Robbie Williams is back with a new song, the controversial – and amazing – ‘Party Like A Russian’. And man, we’ve missed Robbie and his ridiculous quotes. Here are 25 of the best from over the years.
1
“I’m a born entertainer. When I open the fridge door and the light goes on, I burst into song.”

11

On his wife giving birth to his daughter: “It was like my favourite pub burning down.”

14
“We’d probably have sex. That’s what this is all about isn’t it? I want him to be grateful for it. Let’s get it out in the open. I want to shag Liam Gallagher.”
