A songwriter writes songs all the time, whereas just writing a song can be done by anyone, anytime.

I grew up with British rock.

I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.

I've never been enamoured by the idea of being a celebrity.

There is no situation that could ever confront you that cannot be solved. Life takes on real meaning when you set values for yourself, regard yourself as worthwhile and elevate your thoughts to things that are of God-good. There is a Higher Power. Turn to it and use it; it is yours for the asking.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

I moonlight as a singer.
