I've had many highs in my career, and Eurovision has been a wonderful experience.

I have represented romance all my life. Some have called me the 'King of Romance.'

I don't want to slow down. It's my life. I love being on the road and giving concerts.

There are times when adverse publicity has hit my life, but these things are the growing pains of showbiz marriage.

When I walk on stage, it's a release valve for me. Life is stressful anyway, so therefore, when I walk on stage, it releases all those stressful situations, and I feel good about myself.

I played to the biggest audience I've ever played to in my life in New Zealand. I couldn't see the end of the crowd. I understand it was over 200,000 people in a park somewhere.

There are so many people getting dementia. It is like an epidemic now. It is a terrible disease because once you get it, your life changes completely.

Fifty - it's going to be for the rest of my life. I'm going to count myself as a 50-year-old, sing like I'm 50, and act like I am, too. That's how I feel, and I believe if you have that frame of mind, it keeps you young.

My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body.

I had tuberculosis in my mid-20s. I didn't have much work, was living in a damp London basement in a sleeping bag, and ate only every other day. I looked rough and felt very run down.

I have dreams where everything will disappear or go away, so I'm always working harder each year.

I think it's important to have a sense of humor. You have to be able to laugh at yourself.
