A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

Yes!!! I booked a commercial!!!

But I'm not superstitious. I don't really eat dinner before I go on stage, because digesting a lot of food kind of shuts you down. And I try not to get involved in emotional conversations with anyone beforehand either, so I've got a clear head.

Tonight I feel like a prisoner on fire, waiting desperately... denied, sentenced forever more. Only your love can set me free.

It's not quite the Tom Jones show, but yes, I've had undergarments. If I get a bra chucked on stage I'll hold it up so the audience can decide what to think. And I'll usually blame a guy for doing it.

The whole industry evolves around a great song

As you get older, your experiences become more precious. Nothing material is important to me. It's people who are precious.
