As a 29-year-old, the only thing that I can possibly think is that if I'm still performing at 50, it's because I'll have had disastrous marriages and I have to pay for them.

Do I think I'm a national treasure? I don't see why not? I don't see why I shouldn't be. I'm a good lad, really.

I'd make a better U.S. president than George W. Bush. Bush is an idiot. I'm a better public speaker than him. It makes you wonder about the voters.

To be honest, I don't want No. 1's anymore. Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind the odd few, but I'd also like a record going in at eight and staying around.

Madonna looked amazing. I can't believe she's 89 and looks like that.

There's no point regretting things. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Life's too short to worry about things I've said.

I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.
