You are never really prepared for criticism.

Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.

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

It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music.

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

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've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.
