I spent some time with Bob Marley and I have to say that was like walking with a god on earth.
I was never really keen to drive. I was always chauffeured around.
In the '70s, Leo-mania was the equivalent of Beatle-mania down there and they still love me. In Australia they still want heroes.
Because I don't go to showbiz parties, I don't have the right image. The media decides who's in and who's out.
I would love the record industry to be more receptive to my music but all they are interested in is style over content.
I'm a very changeable character. I don't think I've got one style of music that is overriding to me.
I am the kind of person who does want very badly to be liked. I'm a right-miserable little show off.
It's been hard to gain acceptance in England without the clown makeup because I wore the costume as part of my act for so long.
I think the worst thing in the world is for artists to produce themselves.
All I've ever wanted to do is master my craft. I'm a singer, and I want to be a great singer.
I believe in not sitting down and taking it easy.
I felt quite an affinity with 'Rocky' in my career. It's been like 'fight the business' all the way up.
I hate art as a be-all and an end-all.
I very much enjoy writing about positive, direct emotions.
I write from the voice in my head.
I occasionally suffer from eczema but only very mildly.
It's nice to feel wanted somewhere.
I tend not to eat lunch because a midday meal makes me want to sleep in the afternoon.
You don't necessarily have to write a song to make it your own. After all, Elvis never wrote a song in his life.
Being very dyslexic I couldn't even tie my own shoe laces until the age of 21 and I struggled at school.
Do you know what, I don't even like dancing.
I have so many happy memories of Belfast and the shows I played there.
Marriage can feel like putting a burden on each other and sometimes kids go with that, too.
I particularly love the silk in Jakarta, the shoes in Tokyo and the amazing cloth from Thailand and Malaysia.
I don't think I ever really sold out, and that made a difference.
I think I topped 'When I Need You' with 'More Than I Can Say.'
I have had a partial kneecap replacement, an irritable bowel and three stents in my heart.
