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.

In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.

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

Writing is a great love of mine.

There was never any pressure on me to go into the business, but I was always aware of it. I'd go on the set with my father and he and my mother would always be singing.

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

I've never been one to chase awards or anything like that, to be honest.
