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

I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again. All around, trying to get the feeling again. The one that makes me shiver, made my knees start to quiver.

Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time.

I think if Unchained Melody does what I think it can do, I think there is an audience out there that would heave a sigh of relief, that finally there is a melody and orchestration, production and a vocalist that is giving them a song that they can just listen to... and not be annoyed by the vocal acrobatics that vocalists seem to think is impressive.

I didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.

I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life. Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time. No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.

I think the people who are out there for fame get themselves in a lot of trouble.
