And, because there was an honesty about all that was going on. It connected with the people in the street.

I do like what Alicia Keys and John Legend are doing. With their music, you keep your clothes on.

I always felt I never chose music, it chose me.

One of the hardest things in the world is to perform on record and get someone to enjoy and feel what you're doing. It's unlike, like TV you can, you can fake it with the face and the crying and the bits. Recording is completely different.

I do a lot of Vegas work and work with the comedians.

If you just concentrate on what you're doing and allow yourself to actually enjoy and let your feelings come out, whatever the tempos, whatever the rhythms, whatever the songs, 9 out of 10 times it will work.

Those things don't happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they'll never know the true feeling that we did.
