You shall, I question not, find a way to the top if you diligently seek for it; for nature hath placed nothing so high that it is out of the reach of industry and valor.

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 heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it. I didn't ever want to be anything else. I just started banging away and semi-studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music but sort of half-heartedly.

I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
