I have been rich, and I have been broke. Some of it is my fault for choosing bad management and making bad investments. But that is life - we all take risks.

I used to worry, 'I've lost my family.' They hated me for a while, but they're very resilient.

I'm a diplomat by nature. I help find the middle ground. I crack a joke and use humour to help resolve potentially vicious situations quickly. It gets things in perspective and helps everyone to see that things aren't as bad as they seem.

You don't make solo albums to have hits.

I'm a Gemini, so I have a great time with the other guy.

My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

We're great, Jo and me. We're pals, and I guess sex has a lot to do with it. She's also brilliant at clearing a room. So protective, so devoted. I can't believe how much she loves me.
