A Quote by Chris de Burgh

I've got a room full of gold and platinum records, a lot of them are Canadian, and I've got a very soft spot for that country.
For the first six years of my career I was independent. I got on to a major and did my thing there. I had platinum and gold records and all that.
The fans are the end result of what we do. Sometimes I think we forget that those are the folks that mean it in this game. There's plenty of evidence to be found that you can have all the #1 records in the world, but if you really ain't touchin' them, you don't come home with gold records and platinum records. I'm very proud that we've only had one #1 record, but we've sold two and one half million!
Everything speeds up and it's blurry for a minute. But you've got to have a little patience sometimes to just find a soft spot. There's always a soft spot in the defense, and it's your job to find it.
Doing a concert, I look at a room full of different people, and I see you've got Muslims, you've got Jews, you've got Christians, you've got gays, you've got straights, you've got blacks, you've got whites. I think, 'How can I unite these people through song?'
There are five kids in my family and I'm the only one who didn't get a diploma. All the kids got their diplomas hanging in my father's room and I got my gold records. I'd say he was more proud of the diplomas.
I got a portrait of Nipsey at my house, bro. I got to put a platinum plaque by that, and my brother is not here to share that with me. That's his first platinum single. We did that together.
I've got a very soft spot for Mohammad Amir. As a person and as a cricketer, I admire him greatly.
I didn't tell anybody [had got a role at As Good As It Gets], because I was just going, "Well, that was the strangest audition..." And I just thought, "There's no way he gave me the job on the spot when there was a room full of other girls waiting to audition for it." But then I didn't hear anything for a couple of days, so I finally called my agents, and they're, like, "Oh, yeah, congratulations! We know Jim [L.Brooks] told you in the room that you got it."
My generation started in big tournaments. '88 Olympics, we got silver. '89 European Championship, we got gold. 1990 World Cup in Argentina, we got gold. '91 European Championship, we got gold, and then there was a civil war, and for three years, we didn't play.
I have records in gold, in platinum, I have two Oscars, I have Grammys and so on.
I've got a soft spot for true individuals.
I can't immediately get all this coverage when my record comes out. The way I sell gold and platinum records is by being on the road.
I don't need material things like gold and platinum records on my wall, Grammys or Hall Of Fame nods.
If you come to my house in Kolkata, it is full of gold and platinum discs.
Channel 4 know I'm messed up. But they've got a soft spot for me.
