father <\/a>once said to him about relationships. <\/p>\n‘He said to make something work, you have to be two individual people with two separate lives, and have one life together with two separate lives. You have to always be interesting to each other.<\/p>\n
‘I think Ail\u00eds knows me better than I know me. She\u2019ll say something like: “Don\u2019t think of that at this moment. Just focus on what you\u2019re doing there. Don\u2019t think about that”,’ he told the Sunday Independent.<\/p>\n

He says she is ‘incredibly supportive’, adding: ‘I wouldn\u2019t be who I am today without her.’<\/p>\n
‘I was always a worrier. She was originally. Now, she says, “Everything\u2019s going to be fine. Don\u2019t worry.” Her attitude now is that life is for living. And of course she\u2019s right. She is incredibly intelligent. She was a schoolteacher. She has a bachelor of arts from Trinity.<\/p>\n
‘She decided very early that she wanted to make sure she did a good job with our boys, rather than continue to work as a teacher. She\u2019s incredibly supportive. We discuss everything.<\/p>\n

‘We were married 50 years on July 22. We\u2019ve lasted because we\u2019re two separate people, because over the years I\u2019ve spent my time on the road. When I get home I\u2019m the best person I can be \u2014 but I haven\u2019t always been the best person I could be.<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019ve made loads of mistakes, like everybody else. I\u2019ve done lots of things that I regret. But I\u2019ve also done lots of things that I\u2019m very proud of. The version that\u2019s between her and me, that\u2019s the important thing. <\/p>\n
‘It\u2019s that attachment to each other. I wouldn\u2019t be who I am today without her. I am the person that she helped make me be. I learned from her.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eurovision legend Johnny Logan has said he wouldn’t have his career if it weren’t for his wife.
