I am nervous that the craft of songwriting is taking a nose dive...And since I'm a songwriter and I connect with an interpretative, you know, interpretation of a song, I miss it. I just miss it.

'If I Should Love Again' - I was just so impressed with myself writing something like that. It wasn't a single and people didn't really know about it, but it's a beautiful song and that's part of what I'm loving.

The melody seems to have gone to the country. The country music seems to still have melody and interesting lyrics. But pop music, you've got to really listen hard to somebody who's doing a good melody and a good lyric.

When it comes to me, I just write the most beautiful music I can, I do the best work I can, and then I hand it out there.

Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.

QVC has been very good to me.

My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.
