Friendship, harmony, and leadership - pushin' people, just givin' people that push, like I would expect them to do for me, they'd do the same for me in return.

I would love to go to smaller places in the UK such as Manchester and Liverpool and play there. It's much more intimate; you got to get down and gritty, getting closer to the people.

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

My UK fans are quite similar to the States but they pay much more attention to the details, that I like. They listen, party, and dance moving through the changing moods of the music with me.

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've always loved people that's been around for a long time, like old shoes.

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.
