I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.

I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.

There's a million things that come through when you put songs together and it's kind of difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it on every occasion. It's just like somebody writing a screenplay or something like that.

I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.

You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.

The wild night is calling.
