I think the hardest thing is losing weight. That's the hardest thing more than anything else.
From Aretha Franklin
If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.

I like writing and don't confine myself to just the words or just the music. But I don't particularly write songs with myself in mind.
My American audiences are pretty mixed. I get all sorts of people, old and young. It's nice.
I'm not ever going to retire. That's - that wouldn't be good, for one, just to go somewhere and sit down and do nothing. Please. No, that's not moi.
My generation, we came along, we had to really know our craft.
People really don't have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you.
