We're five people, five individuals who came together to create something, to make music and to complete each other musically, to form a perfect circle.

Real music lovers are actually my favourite kind of people because they like to know, rather than just be told what to think.

Amy [Winehouse] changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doin' now, man, for more years than I know. I got it from them.

I listened to King Oliver and I listened to Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp... I listened to everything I could that came from that place that they call the blues but, in formality, isn't necessarily the blues.

Black people still call me Prince. Sometimes I ask them, "Why do you call me Prince?" And people say, "Because you are a prince to us." Usually when they say that, you know my heart goes out and I have to say, "I don't mind your calling me that."
