I think I can see people wanting to hear more music-music now as opposed to all hip-hop. You know, which I have nothing against hip-hop. I think some of it is really good. But on the other hand, some of the real great artists are just being lost because they're not getting the airplay or anything to make them inspired to record again.

It's quite different, the kind of love you get in a smaller club and the kind of love you get on a big proscenium stage. It's quite different. I like both of them, but I'm in love with the smaller, intimate club.

I've always loved the blues, ever since I was a kid. It has a depth to it that a lot of contemporary music doesn't have. It has pain and suffering in it, but funny stories, too. And it is built on storytelling, which is something I really love.

You move differently than you do when you're filling the stage at Radio City. You have to be bigger than life there.

I love historical romance, absolutely love it.

And getting married this autumn was certainly an additional incentive to spend rather more time in England.

I am a big believer in marriage.

I always thought that marriage needs to happen at the right time, for the right reasons, and with the right person.
