When you're out there with thousands of people it's probably better to have a bigger show to look at, and it turned out really well and they videoed it for me.

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.

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

I can say I have become far more open about what I believe.

Someone recommended that I read the Bible, and it was then I discovered that I knew nothing about it.

Celebrities meet a lot of people and we just can't maintain them all in our fuddled brains.

So I will go as far as I can into rock and roll carrying my Christian banner.
