Look at my track record: All of the big hits we created in Holland worked globally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know that I am very popular in Holland, in fact I have visited Amsterdam several times to publicize my books. I have a great publisher in Holland and they have published all of my books in Dutch.
We've had a number 1 album in the UK and that was a really big thing for me. So now all we've got to do is do it in America and that will have the domino effect of doing it across the rest of the world.
To play Holland, you have to play the Dutch.
It never occurred to me that it would be a big hit internationally and forever.
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
We've performed in South America and in Japan.
My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
I knew I didn't want to make a country record just because that's not really what I would have ever made as a solo artist.
We had several hits in the States but probably only one big one in Europe. The crowds are smaller.
Every country I've had different hit records, so we have to change the set to fit the country.
