Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.

Just because I grew up a white guy in America doesn't mean that's the music of my life.

I actually prefer female voices to listen to, mostly, but among the male singers whose voices I like are Jeff Buckley, Art Garfunkel, that sort of voice. Contemporary crooners rather than rockers.

Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.

Rock 'n' roll is much easier if you're white.

English music is white - it evades everything.

You don't see a lot of black rock stars. The music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. It's hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music.

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

I just love the sound of a black woman's voice.

No one had ever told me that whites were supposed to sing one kind of music and blacks another - I sang what I liked in the only voice I had.
