Even if I accepted that Jesus - like almost every other prophet on record - was born of a virgin I cannot think that this proves the divinity of his father or the truth of his teachings. The same would be true if I accepted that he had been resurrected.

Trust me the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends.

But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust so I'm just living up to my reputation.

But trust me if I lived in the '80s I would definitely be the one going to the record stores.

I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy.

I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I'd have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country kind of like a Johnny Appleseed and sing.

Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who's connected with it the studio's gone the musicians are gone and the only thing that's left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago.

Well especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.

I have spent over 60 years bent over a guitar and to know that I wrote 70 compositions that masters have recorded that makes me feel so good and full and proud and thankful to the good Lord.

I'm really thankful to God man. Like now I'm really making a real comeback with my group. With or without a record with or without a movie. And behind all the negative press behind this movie.
