I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

So often, the singer is the sound of the record. People think they can cover anything, but the whole voice is the thing that's unrepeatable.

Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.

You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.

I like situations that force me to rethink things.
