My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.

I think America is a hard nut to crack. But once you get a toehold, it's a great place for an entrepreneur because people are so enthusiastic, and you have the most enthusiastic audiences in world.

Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator.

I do see a big difference in the American work ethic compared to the British work ethic in a lot of artists.

I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.

Being different is good; embrace it.

You have to be original. The people creating a buzz on YouTube are taking risks, and they're doing something different. I like it when 15 year-olds come on and tell me what to do rather than the other way around.
