I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.

I am extremely lucky; I've never been ill - although about 20 years ago I broke my right arm hang gliding.

I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.

I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.

When I do my solo concerts, I'm used to being on the stage for two hours solid, singing 16 songs. And when I did 'Funny Thing,' I was on the stage the whole time. This is much more difficult. It's the difference between racing and sprinting. This is sprinting. And I have to learn to pace myself.

When my 'Scientific American' arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.
