I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.

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

When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.

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

Why should I spoil my mood by wearing an ugly suit?

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.
