"I don't think they initially understood what he's about – nobody does, actually, I still don't know what he's about. But people have bought into it, they've bought into the magic and mystery of him and it was a bit special.

"I think it's better to go while there's still the mystery, because there's plenty about him. I just want to say thank you very much, and I'm close to tears, actually."
