Quite simply, to win Miss World is not a ticket to millions and I've read that so many times.
My wife and I are rock solid together and, curiously enough, always have been.
I've 300 other songs, but 'Lady In Red' is just one of them. Funnily enough, in America, it is massive, but most people wouldn't have a clue who Chris de Burgh was.
Most years, I do 70 or 80 concerts.
I know journalists like to think that they are read by people like me, but I don't read them.
I'm very good to my wife. I never go home.
If you love yourself there's plenty left for everyone else. You just have to deflect natsy things.
A lot of people think they can become world stars overnight.
My secondary schooling was at Marlborough College, Wiltshire, so I'm fond of that part of the world. It's quintessentially English, with village greens, pubs and cricket pitches, and resonates strongly with me.
When I'm home I love to get the wellies on and take the dog for a walk.
Music was my first love, and at Marlborough we put bands together and sang the pop songs of the day. Although I couldn't read or write music - I still can't - I taught myself to play the guitar and piano by listening to songs and working out the chords.
I'm not a great meat eater - I eat it twice a week. But I can't stand fish - my mother says it's because I got a fish bone stuck in my throat when I was little.
Vanity is not high on my list of priorities.
My mother was actually a breeder, believe it or not, and she used to name horses after some of my songs.
I remember years ago hearing a top band talking about a song of theirs that was a monster hit and they were really dissing it, saying that they hoped they'd never have to play it again. I thought: 'That's not right. If people love a song, play it.'
When you're a solo artist and you're not doing well, it can be pretty tough. So when success does come, it feels like you've earned it.
I can rock along with the best of them.
I'm far more interested in putting a little more meat into the lyrics than some people are.
I studied French and English literature because I liked it.
Americans are much easier to please than Canadians. The American taste is less critical. Canadians are more cultured, they are more aware of the arts than Americans.
