It was a world that I wanted to record because it was such a miracle visitation to me.

It's a great feat for me to have broken my world record.

If anybody wants to beat me, let them run a world record.

You don't want people thinking you're a cheat just because you're really fast and have broken the world record by a second.

With the new record, we really want to get out there. I'm really having a blast. The band I've got is just fantastic, so I want to get out there and enjoy it.

I was too shy, I think, to sing publicly. It takes a particular kind of person. And when I was young, I was not that person. In the first instance, when a record company said to me, do you want to try and make your record, my first reaction was, no, I'm not worthy - I couldn't possibly, and so on and so forth.
