So many people release albums before Christmas and they get lost in the Christmas rush.

In 1983 I'd had a number one. I'd sold 6 million copies of Total Eclipse Of The Heart all over the world.

Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart.

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.

Fabulous place, Dublin is. The trouble is, you work hard and in Dublin you play hard as well.

I have never gone out of fashion. And do you know why? Because I never sought it. When you don't seek it, it's always with you.

Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.

I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!

Every country I've had different hit records, so we have to change the set to fit the country.

You think the Welsh are friendly, but the Irish are fabulous.

We stay in U2's hotel. They bought a hotel, The Clarence, a nice place and it's in an area where everything's happening, so many fantastic restaurants and bars and the people are so friendly.

This form of love is like the painof childbirth: so intenseit's hard to remember afterwards,

I thought I wanted these memories, but now I realize he hardly knows me.

The paradoxical and tragic situation of man is that his conscience is weakest when he needs it most.

To be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering.

I took all the philosophy courses I could.

It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't.

Amarillio, just turn to the left and 500 yards down

I'm a suicide. I walked right spang over the edge of life and disappeared. Splash! Bubble-bubble! There goes nothing.

I like being married, but it was never something I felt I had to do.
