You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.

What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.

Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.

I've been in America for almost ten years. I've had many parts of the American experience. I've been all over this country and seen many different parts of it. It's just that I'm not an American. I've never become an American. I'm talking about the whole thing-psychologically, citizenship, the whole trip. Of course I've definitely been influenced by America-I'm definitely influenced by the music and the culture.

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.

Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.

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