Like most photographers, I try to capture a moment in my work.

A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.

My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.

I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.
