The World Motivation
I've always played all the old songs. I'd go and see Peter Gabriel or Madonna and be surprised if they didn't play all the hits. People don't want to come and hear the B-sides.

Punk helped musical fringes get attention. Stuff like Nirvana could never have happened without it.
I define myself by my work, so I'd be a sad creature without working. I just wouldn't get up in the morning.
I have experienced ageism and sexism. In my 20s, I was told by a camera lighting man I needed plastic surgery. In my 30s I was constantly told I needed to lose weight.
When I was young I just regarded not sleeping as a fantastic way to pack more into my days. I always reasoned that life's so short, it seemed crazy to waste it sleeping.
I consider myself much better adjusted than Gabriel.
In Genesis we saw ourselves as song-writers. After Peter Gabriel left I was the first to say: 'It's OK - we can just do instrumentals.'
I think I am an artist. I think I am Juan Gabriel, who has given so much with my songs.
Oh yeah, I love Peter Gabriel's stuff. I mean, I even have the Genesis records. He's incredible.
Juan Gabriel was someone I always looked up to.
