I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.

You're everything I hope for. You're everything I need. You are so beautiful to me.

For me, the focus are songs, which really get the audience moving.

I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.

It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?

I was in Germany when the wall came down.

It's all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.
