It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.

These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.

Skiffle was blues featuring a washboard and acoustic instruments. It encompassed blues, with elements of folk, jazz, and, at times, American country-and-western music.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.

I write songs. Then I record them. And later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple. I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it...Music is spiritual. The music business is not. Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
