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.

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.

My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.

I think my music is like anchovies - some people like it, some people get nauseous.

I believe in my writing.

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