I grew up in the south, poor - on rock, dirt roads.

The British people are extremely conventional. You don't always know what one is thinking or feeling because it is basically hidden. The British people basically let you see what they want you to see.

There's been (if you sort of scan the magazines) announcements of different performers that has come and tried to get the British audience to go crazy, simply by them entering the stage because they had a hit record. It just doesn't happen. That happens in America.

I don't want to be dragging myself on stage, year in year out, until someone else tells me it is time to go. There are certain birthdays that make you revalue your life

In Tennessee where I grew up, there were animals, farms, wagons, mules.

I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!

Delhi came as a shock. There were so many people, and oh, the traffic.
