The first real gig I went to was Randy Crawford in 1980. Seeing a big star like that was just fantastic.

That's what I think a journalist from the '70s and '80s should look like - as though he has led a full journalistic life.

I don't think I can plate-spin, I've turned loads of things down because I just can't get the time to do it.

I grew up listening to legends such as Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tony Bennett.

I remember watching the Twin Towers collapse. Because it was another country and looked like a film, I just sort of thought, 'Oh.' I didn't think that much. Then three days later, it hit me. I was in a terrible state, and I was tearful for three or four days.

Shirley Maclaine once said that she didn't want to be a big star, just a long star. That's what I want too.

I've always known I was going to be a big star, so I need a big stage and a big platform.

Star cast is very important, for the songs to fly again. You need someone like a Shah Rukh Khan or a Salman Khan, a big star in the film. They will make sure that the song is taken to a different level.

To make a breakthrough in Hollywood, you have to be committed to doing it, which is true of anything in life. I was already a big star in India and I stayed with that.

Frank Sinatra discovered me at a nightclub called P.J.'s in Hollywood. It was 1962. He used to come in there a lot with all his big star friends. I was so nervous to see him. I've only had one idol in my life, and that was Frank Sinatra.
