A career of nearly 40 years, is not very long.
I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.
I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.
If we could be heroes, if just for one day.
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
