It must be quite difficult if you have a father who's sort of known. On the other hand, you can get a job in his band.

You become acutely aware, if you're touring a lot, that you need new songs to invigorate the live show. And make it interesting for yourself, too.

Everyone in rock 'n roll including myself was touched by Elvis's spirit, I was, and always will be a fan.

It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.
