My style of music is the great American songbook meets the pop world of the Seventies and Eighties.

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.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You've got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You've got to go out and fight for it.

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.

Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.

First of all, I've been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs I didn't write. I had five pop cover albums and two Christmas albums, and they were all very successful.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.
