I like to see people reaching back for the roots and for the reason why. Not intellectually, but just for the gut feeling of what it's all about.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.

I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.

You've got to separate the singer and the songs.

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
