I know what it takes to put on a good show for the fans.

The Grammys used me for ratings. And they were up 18 percent!

I admire this town a lot. They take care of their own. There's not a lot of places in the world, much less America, that do that. It's just a great place.

I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.

As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.

Listen, I'm not cool. Being cool is about keeping your blood pressure steady. So no. Don't be cool. Be passionate. Be dedicated. Be tenacious. Be uncompromising. Be pissed. Be happy. Be sad.

It's not a bad Thing to fall in Love.
