| Rob, thanks for your music, your voice, your lyrics, your mental support and omnipresence. Thanks for making my life a little bit better by showing me the importance of strong will and self-esteem. Thanks for releasing albums and doing tours, thanks for entertaining me and my family. And finally, thanks for bringing so much joy into people's lives because as you said, absolutely everybody is here to have a good time. |
| Thanks |

| Rob, you love to say you don't know what you've done. You don't understand why people love you. But that's because your talents come to you naturally and that's why you can't see how much better you are than any other singer in the world. It's not a crime to do what you do best and what you like best for a living. You deserve everything you receive so just take it and be happy. |
| Rob's urban legends |
| Fans - No, they won't leave you. People love you. Live with it. Cigs - No, smoking does not help the voice. It ruins it. Drugs - No good, not even if the doctor prescribes them. Tatoos - No reason to get yet another. John Lennon - Is God, but not invincable. |

| Robbie Williams |
| If it wasn't for him, Scabbers wouldn't be around anymore. When Rob went solo in 1997 all I had was his music. School and friends sucked which made it hard to get along with my family aswell. Rob had gone through a hard time himself and now there he was, up on stage again, promoting his first solo album. He taught me a lot about life. Like how you can't make mistakes without paying for them but also how you can get out of every mess, no mattter how deep, as long as you have faith in yourself. |

| Now I don't adore this guy for nothing. I really think he's got an awesome voice and he can performe really well. I liked to call him the natural born entertainer way back when he was only starting his solo career and everybody was still thinking of him as loser. I'm so proud he made it, though. I kinda feel like his auntie Scabbers, the only person who believed in him from the beginning and now look what's become of my little boy! That's silly of course, but I so love to say *I knew it!* |
| A day in the life.... of Scabbers, star date 1997.odd. Scabbers: "Hi, I'd like to buy Robbie Williams' new album. Has it arrived yet?" Shop Assistant: "Excuse me, Robbie who?" S: "Williams. Robbie Williams" SA: *puzzled look* "How do you spell him?" S: "You know Robbie Williams, don't you, the guy used to be in Take That." SA: *interested look* S: "Please check him on your computer, will ya? W.I.L.L.I.A.M.S" SA: *suprised look* "Hey, this guy actually exists!" S: "Fine, sure he does. Can I order the album then? Please?" |
| Elvis, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. |
