I owe Elvis my career, and the entire music business owes him it's lifeline.

When I use music on stage, the prime directive is to entertain the public, so it is different.

How is there going to be Peace when there is no Justice?

It's the business I'm in, I can't say that signing things is the favourite part of my career but you know that it has to be done and that there is no pain involved.

I involve myself in an organisation called Tear Fund.

I liked the Beatles but I wasn't mad on the Stones. I always thought they were a slight rip-off of Chuck Berry and some of the old blues people, and they never seemed to change. If people compare me to Jagger and the Stones I would be the one to be put down ... I've been far more progressive than any of them.

The music industry has changed drastically and that damages young artists. They don't have the same support system that we had. They wanted us to be happy. Today I would have been dropped after the first flop.
