I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

I've grown to love California: It's the dream of every English musician to come here and work in the sunshine. To walk up Sunset Boulevard, knowing you're going to make music - that's it.

I enjoy being in New York. I have so many fans here that sing all my songs from start to finish.

When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.

I've written a lot about southern California, but I don't use the same characters. Leave the people in the songs in the songs, is my philosophy.

A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music.

I hate musicals, especially film musicals.

I was into playing American music, especially the blues.

I started singing on the radio in Los Angeles. I sang blues, but I would tend toward country blues.

I mean, I've done musicals, but it's not my best thing.
