Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world but he could never show it to his wife and son.

I'm not one for flings, I can tell you that.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

I am not John Lennon; I never will be!

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.

I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.
