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

Everybody has to find out: who are you? What do you believe in?

I keep reading about people who want to be famous - it's not that they want to be great songwriters or great actors, they want to be celebrities. That is scary because you can be famous doing some really stupid things.

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

There's just no quiet in Vegas.

Keep your family and old friends around you. That's what I had done and that's what saved my life when it came to being famous.

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