I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.

I'm an old rock and roll buff. I love Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.

When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.

I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.

I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a rocker.

Prior to that, I had associated this music with older people, like my father.

I grew up listening to old soul.

You either evolve or you don't. I don't like old people on a rock n' roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can't just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, 'Sing 'White Rabbit,' and I'd say no? That's rude.

I've always been an old soul.

I'm too young to have experienced firsthand the '70s rock, but when I was in high school, me and my friends were super into Neil Young. That was the grunge era, and he was considered cool again.
