I think I'm more entertainer than musician. I like to get with the crowd, make this night special for them.

I think you have a limited amount of impact as an entertainer, performer, or musician.

I like dresses for night; I like after-party more than party. I like the mystery; I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. I think, also, that you make women dream.

I think of myself as a jungle musician because of my lack of formal training.

I think I intimidate hecklers because I weigh more than most of them.

We don't live in a jazz world, unfortunately. I think if I had lived in a jazz world, I would have done OK. I'm not sure I would have done great. I'm a lover of jazz music, so I would have been happy, don't get me wrong. I go to jazz concerts like the biggest jazz fan in world. The drag is that I don't play jazz for a living.
