Coming from New Zealand and Australia is like a tough pre-school for Hollywood. And having been on 'Neighbours,' even though the agents I met with hadn't seen it, they knew it's where Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce had come from. It was a foot in the door.
Being involved in 'The Hobbit' has been a huge boost for me. It's really put me on the map and helped me be taken more seriously as an actor.
What was Bruce Lee like? How did you meet? What was it like to choreograph the fight scene in Rome with him? Did you spend much time together off-screen? Those are a small sampling of the inquiries I'm asked often, wherever I go around the world.
You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
I can understand my popularity with the Indian diaspora, but I do get surprised when non-Indians recognise my music.
In Singapore, when we actually met foreign fans and talked to them, it was like 'Wow! They really exist!'
You could become internationally famous - you're Gemini, and according to antique authority have a literary talent, which of course your letters prove.
When I come to London now it's like being in L.A., because they know me like I'm at home.
I know, logically, about the fact that there are fans of my work in America, but it's hard for that feeling to sink in.
Oscar De La Hoya is unique. Even Ray Leonard didn't have the star power Oscar has.
I don't get recognized in England. Not at all. Every so often, I get recognized in other countries.
In America, if you say 'Chris de Burgh,' they won't have a clue, but they all know 'Lady in Red.'
When I'm back in my country, it's like being David Beckham. But it's like that for David Beckham all over the world. It must be more difficult for him than for me.
We're very pleased to be on a show which is known and loved around the world.
Psy is fantastic. He's shifted the planet. He's got the whole world dancing. And it's a rarity in this world. Only four people made that happen in history - James Brown, Michael Jackson, yours truly and Psy.
People who have followed my career still call me Ron, and that's OK; most of the young kids call me Metta, and then everyone in China calls me Panda. In the Middle East, they call me World Peace.
I've been voted one of Australia's 50 national treasures. I've even had my face on an Australian stamp - the only non-Australian to do so, apart from the Queen, of course.
Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England.

When you win the World Cup, you start to become a legend - for the people around the world, you are different.
I've 300 other songs, but 'Lady In Red' is just one of them. Funnily enough, in America, it is massive, but most people wouldn't have a clue who Chris de Burgh was.
