I am fairly classless because it is very difficult to class someone who comes from a mixed marriage.

I always see myself as much more of a musician than a celebrity.

I've got absolutely no real perception, properly, of time.

If you're only making an album every 10 years, it better be good.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

My father was a very difficult man.
