I think I topped 'When I Need You' with 'More Than I Can Say.'

When you've sung the same song a million or a hundred thousand times, there are always moments when you drift off and go into automatic.

A bit of arrogance is nice every now and then.

I don't believe in muckin' about and hiding ambition.

I was a big-headed little guy.

It happens in this business - The Rolling Stones were ripped off, so were the Beatles. George Harrison hardly had anything left in the end.

In my earlier albums like 'Another Year' and 'Just A Boy,' I always saw myself as a bit of a loser - the kind of guy who takes a drink and walks into a wall instead of through the door.

I spent some time with Bob Marley and I have to say that was like walking with a god on earth.

I'm sure I could have been a rich man, but I never was.

Fame is always a bit crazy. You spend so long banging on the door trying to get in that when it suddenly opens, it's a very strange feeling.

I am a big fan of Korean food.

People with learning difficulties are often creative in different ways.

I have had a partial kneecap replacement, an irritable bowel and three stents in my heart.

There are a million misconceptions about me but the greatest is probably that people think I'm the king of disco. I love disco but it is only one part of me.

A good microphone is an essential thing for a singer.

We used to spend a lot of time as kids in Northern Ireland, on the border and in southern Ireland as well.

I get frustrated but never depressed.

My dad died with a full head of hair, so I have that legacy.

I have so many happy memories of Belfast and the shows I played there.

I come from a time when music used to make a difference.

The Seventies was a golden era. Back then we had some incredible talent with bands like the Undertones, the Rolling Stones and artists like Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney.

I'm not a golfing man.

You can't get away from the right-wing politics but that's the same all over the world.
