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

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.

What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.

There's just no quiet in Vegas.

QVC has been very good to me.

I'm still hungry. I've still got a million ideas. I'm still strong and ready to create.

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