Leadership is character in action.
If I sang the way I talk it would sound like "Tommy Steele sings Muddy Waters!"
I am quite a slow writer. I can only work under pressure; I wait until the last minute.
For me, hearing the term 'apply yourself' was like a crucifix to Bella Lugosi's Dracula. 'Ahhh, it burns!'
I get influenced by stuff that isn't even music.
I'm conscious enough that how I'm singing is not my own accent.
