The big, big record labels have so much control. I think too much control that it actually made their artists scared to not do what they were told and then the music suffers because of that dynamic and now there's the power of the download.

I feel so, so lucky. Lucky because of many things.

The musicians one day are going to listen to me.

When you have the opportunity to make music with great musicians, take it. That's it. That's the only reason I need, really.

The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

It would just be nice if everybody would be nice.
