Time Is My Enemy. Time Will Catch

I Don't Think You Can Sing About Certain Things When You're A Teen-ager Or In Your Early 20s, Because You Haven't Lived Long Enough. So I Think Living Gives You Character And That Comes Out In Your Voice.

When You First Start Off, I Know Singers Who Have Only Been In The Business Just A Short Amount Of Time, And They've Already Written Their Autobiography. I Didn't Want To Write It Too Soon. I Wanted To Live A While And Write About Things That I Felt Were Important To Me - Growing Up In Wales, And The Characters That I Met And Listened To.

When I Started Off In Wales, I Sang And Accompanied Myself With Guitar In The '50s. And Then I Got A Band Together, Which Is A Rhythm Section, Really. I Used To Do A Lot Of Blues, And Rhythm And Blues, And '50s Rock 'n' Roll And Country, And All Kinds Of Stuff.

Whenever I've Been Asked To Be In A Film, Directors Only Want Me To Play Myself... I'm Fascinated By The Thought Of Being An Actor, But It's Too Hard. And I Think Shakespeare-which Has Been Suggested To Me-might Be A Bit Of A Stretch.
