Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.

Being good isn't just about being dextrous and being flash. Being good is about being an all-round contributor in the great world of music.

It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.

I'll just carry on being a dated flower child.

What I lack in style and craft, I can make up for in joy and enthusiasm. I like to be around people who are at ease so I like to think the 25-year-old would find me quite an easy-going late-middle-aged hippie.
