"I've had many highs in my career, and Eurovision has been a wonderful experience."
"The pomp, power, and military bombast of 'La Marseillaise' draws me into the history of France and my own. The surname I was born with was French: D'Orsay; perhaps an ancestor was amongst those troops that marched to this evocative anthem for the first time as they entered Paris 200 years ago!"
"'La Marseillaise' sounds best ringing around a packed sports stadium. Its lyrics evoke revolution, conflict, taking up arms, preparing for the fight - everything my music does not! Even in our largely peaceful times, it retains its rousing, martial air that gives it a power that hasn't diminished."
"When the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision."
"I am a faith healer. My prayers have immense power, which I utilise whenever I can."

"Elvis stole his sideburns from me."
"Ghosts exist."
"I had tuberculosis in my mid-20s. I didn't have much work, was living in a damp London basement in a sleeping bag, and ate only every other day. I looked rough and felt very run down."
"My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body."
"When I'm working, I always eat around 5:30-6 P.M. I don't eat anything after that because I don't think you should put anything into your body before bed."
"I have a nine handicap in golf - I can always find time for a round - and I'm on my treadmill and cross-trainer every day."
"Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends."
"I do like rude jokes. They're men jokes."
"I'm very superstitious."
"I have a very good sense of humour. I love telling jokes, especially on the golf course."
"The Walker Brothers, they were a talented pair of people. I thought that Scott had a very fine voice."
"I've had Harleys on both sides of the Atlantic, so I'm a lover of a Harley motorcycle."
"I don't put faces on a dartboard. I just love the game, and I think I play it very well."
"I do believe I did see UFOs, in Leicester."
"From me growing up with a large family and everybody singing around the Christmas tree, it was a wonderful, wonderful upbringing."
"'Driving Home For Christmas' is just a great Christmas song because people are in their cars and driving home."
"Retirement has never entered my mind for one moment because I don't feel the age I am - and I don't act it, and I don't speak like it. When God calls me, that's when I stop. Until then, I'm going to just keep going."
"I try to keep myself young as possible. I vow to never let my hair go grey."
"When I'm performing, sometimes a lyric will touch on my personal life, and it can be difficult to sing. For instance, when I sing 'How I Love You,' I'll choke up."
