I like the music. I don't like the business. I get very tired of the travel and moving, constantly moving. But the hour-and-a-half that I'm making music, I'm one of the happiest people on earth.

I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.

I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.

I don't believe that human beings are necessarily monogamous.

I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.
