I was signed by L.A. Reid on Arista Records when I was 16. He understood me and believed in me. Arista folded and I got put on RCA or whatever, then there were new people there, and every six months it changes and more new people come in.
I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
