I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it.

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 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.

Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.

Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart.

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!

I havent had a big hit record in America since 1987.
