I just think, who wants new soul? I want my soul to be the same as Otis Redding, I don't wanna have a new one.

I don't really produce so-called commercial pop music so I haven't changed so much. I've been on the one path always.

Back in the day people made music to go on tour. They didn't make music to make a video.

You know all these stadiums that U2 are playing? I've played in them. And I'm building up to it again.

I'm a dreamer. I watch people. You don't try to become them because you could never become any of those guys. But you hope that some of it, you know, comes off on you at some point in your show, some point in your writing, that it happens to you and this light just shines on you.

My mission has always been to do something that suits everybody.
