You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else

I will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up

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

I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.

I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand.

I have a little dictaphone and if a sound takes my fancy or if a lyric comes to me in the middle of the night I'll just record it there and then.

You are never really prepared for criticism.
