Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

The future is keeping you out of the present time.

The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
