Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules, to fight the rising odds?

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.

I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.

We stay in U2's hotel. They bought a hotel, The Clarence, a nice place and it's in an area where everything's happening, so many fantastic restaurants and bars and the people are so friendly.

I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!

They say that your first love never dies. You can put out the flames, but not the fire.

I have never gone out of fashion. And do you know why? Because I never sought it. When you don't seek it, it's always with you.
