If you're going to have a cabin fever, have a big cabin, you know.
The world is a tougher place to live in than it was back then, as we come into the computer age.
Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.
I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.
People have said I played some pretty amazing gigs in the seventies, but in all honesty, I probably played one good show in three.
I always encourage my promoter to see if we can go someplace new. And he'll go, 'OK, how about Armenia?'
In me soul, I'm gentle.
It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.
I still like the stuff from the old days: Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway.
I used to get so carried away while I was on stage that I'd be physically damaged by the end of a concert.
Yeah, one of the main ways is for songs that make me want to move.
Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them.
Over the years, I've worked with just about everybody.
I could never deny myself bein' an artist.
A lot of times when you're young and carefree, you don't realize, when you tip over the edge, how difficult it is to climb back in.
I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old.
I'm getting older; you realise you are on the countdown of what you are doing, so performing means more than it ever did to me.
In the end, I don't think you can find soul. Soul finds you.
Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around.
I've been touring now since about '68.
