Remember when you used to watch TV in the '60s and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock'n'roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.

My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

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.

When an angel comes down and takes me away, memories of me and my songs will always stay until the end of time.

I don't listen to my own music at home.

When you want to be close to me, listen to the music. The love is stored there and will not die.
