As a child my grandmother used to tell us stories about the dead and the mystical.

I find that the British audience listens and they accept the performer for its value, value as a singer, as a vocalist, value as a performer. You're only accepted if you're good.

I'm perfectly fine now if I never went on stage again.

I didn't worry about it because I kind of felt I left a good message and memory with the people in terms of my work, and I always felt with a good record, I could always come back.

It's every man for himself, every woman, every child. A new breed ferocious and wild.

There's a difference in how I feel when I'm travelling and when I'm sitting still. I've been doing it for such a long time it has become a part of my life. It gets a bit hectic depending on where I am, you know, like there's different parts of the world that's more stimulating than other parts.

I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you've bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.
