I have a little dictaphone and if a sound takes my fancy or if a lyric comes to me in the middle of the night I'll just record it there and then.

When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it

I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.

When you are in your 20's and 30's, you just want a hit record and you don't really care how it happens

I've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing

I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand.

I don't ever wish I was somebody else.
