I get frustrated but never depressed.

I hate art as a be-all and an end-all.

My hair is massive and fills the mirror.

I am a troubadour, a wandering minstrel.

My mum came from an incredibly big family.

Blissfully, I don't have the revenge gene.

Do you know what, I don't even like dancing.

A bit of arrogance is nice every now and then.

I would say that artists have to be good lovers.

A good microphone is an essential thing for a singer.

I stand a lot better chance to go further than Elton.

I don't believe in muckin' about and hiding ambition.

I've always been a tilter of lances against authority.

I occasionally suffer from eczema but only very mildly.

I'm sure I could have been a rich man, but I never was.

I like my face. It's cheeky - dare I say, Chaplinesque.

I come from a time when music used to make a difference.

What keeps a good face is no stress, and I refuse to worry.

I'd much rather send my friends letters rather than emails.

My dad died with a full head of hair, so I have that legacy.

I think I topped 'When I Need You' with 'More Than I Can Say.'

I was never really keen to drive. I was always chauffeured around.

I have so many happy memories of Belfast and the shows I played there.

People with learning difficulties are often creative in different ways.
