I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the Dylan song “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.”

When I was at college - that was the first time I tried singing. I played in a band, and people seemed to like it.

I loved music from the age of eight. Jazz and blues. But also Little Richard and Elvis Presley.

I will be putting out a fragrance - I'm following in the great steps of Puff Daddy.

Sometimes you're quite fortunate, being on the stage, getting to meet people like Salvador Dali.

It must be really hard to be starting out in music now.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.
