I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?

Don't get disillusioned, no don't expect too much Cause if what you have is all you can get Just keep on trying It just ain't happened yet.

Sometimes, you know, bad is good.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I'd love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn't me, it wasn't my name.

I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.
