When you are in your 20's and 30's, you just want a hit record and you don't really care how it happens

I never really did any disco dancing.

I'm very much a family person.

When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

I would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them

I've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing
