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.

Like I said, basically I'm a rocker. That's about it. Things that I've done away from that-branches that I've gotten into off of that - are just other streams, other things that I can do.

I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.

If you get into introspective blues or something where you're stretching out a bit, large audiences don't respond to this, so you have to give them what they want, basically.
