daddy puff steps
I will be putting out a fragrance - I'm following in the great steps of Puff Daddy.
thinking dukes embrace
I like to think Duke Ellington would probably embrace a fragrance as well.
song fall rain
I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the [Bob] Dylan song "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall."
years sometimes hundred
I tour a lot, sometimes like a hundred shows a year.
country house london
I don't really have a great deal of spare time.I still have a house in the country, but I'm in London 90 percent of the time.
song mean bored
It's good having a lot of different songs to choose from to do the show. It means you don't get bored of doing it in one particular genre.
song interesting needs
You become acutely aware, if you're touring a lot, that you need new songs to invigorate the live show. And make it interesting for yourself, too.
home piano machines
At home I don't really have any drum machines or anything like that, I just have a piano and a cassette machine, an old-fashioned one, an old relic which I've always used.
home piano play
I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.
giving perspective world
Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.
years musical may
It's quite funny that, 20 years ago, one would have thought putting out a fragrance would [negatively] affect your musical credibility. Now it may enhance it.

It must be quite difficult if you have a father who's sort of known. On the other hand, you can get a job in his band.
new-york boston wish
In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.
player interesting track
While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.
