I am a scholar of life. Every night before I go to sleep, I analyze every detail of what I did that day. I evaluate things and people, which helps me avoid mistakes.
I've done a lot of things away from my homeland.
Every time I talk about this, I say: when the singer is singing, he must be respected, you must be able to hear what he's saying. You can't put a trombone and a drum up there, and a microphone on the drum, microphones on everybody. You can't hear what he's saying.
My secret? A desire to work, years of dedication and loving what you do; I can't live without music.
In order to grow old, you have to experience everything, but in moderation.
