My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.

I love Adele. That's a lead singer; that's the real deal.

You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

I have to tell you, and I don't mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.

We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.
