I went to Bethlehem in Christmas 2015 to do a television show for German TV and we filmed in the Church of the Nativity, literally above the place where Christ was born.
You get tarred with the brush of 'Lady in Red.' I play Russia or China or places all over the world. They don't even speak English but they know the words. You get a big song like that, and people love it or hate it. And if they don't like it, they don't like anything at all by the artist.
I have never subscribed to public confessionals.
I always have to have what I believe are the pillars of an album - songs which I can go back to and admire personally as a piece of writing.
I'm emotionally untouchable.
The role of Miss World is one that my daughter has fulfilled to the best of her abilities.
I developed my armour at prep school. I was the smallest guy in the school. I got bullied a lot. So I developed broad shoulders.
I know every side of the industry after all these years.
I think it's the Canadian spirit that encourages people to dream a little bit.
I met someone in the West Indies who was not able to walk. I put my hands on him and he was able to get up. I know the tabloids will get excited by this so I try to play it down.
I have found myself able to cure people with my hands.
I know what it's like to go to a concert, wait to hear your favourite song - and then they don't play it!

My dad had a dream of living in an Irish castle, even when we were in Argentina, and in 1960 he found a place without any heat or running water. We had no money, so it was tough.
I read about wine every day.
It's critically important to have family around me, and some of my happiest moments are when I'm just with my family.
Being hydrated is a key thing for a singer, especially if you're spending three hours on stage five nights a week, and wine dehydrates me faster than beer.
I don't spend much on myself. It's a bit of a joke within the family.
I am a humanist.
My father fought behind Japanese lines in the second world war and it traumatised him. Everybody who knew him from before said he was the life and soul of the party - fun to be with - but after the war he was different.
