I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.

It's all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.

I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don't know if you are really getting through or not.

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.

Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it?

I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.

Once you get into entertaining a quarter of a million people, it's a very weird place to be.
