I have one message for young musicians around the world: Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.

I've been touring now since about '68.

Making music, if you're a real musician, you carry on regardless in this world.

Over the years, I've worked with just about everybody.

In me soul, I'm gentle.

It’s all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.

I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don’t know if you are really getting through or not.

It’s nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.

Once you get into entertaining a quarter of a million people, it’s a very weird place to be.

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can’t overload people.
