The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn't matter what the genre; nowadays, it's so much harder than it ever was.

I'm gonna be your friend in high tide or in low tide.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.

I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
