Sometimes I'd hear things on other people's records and I say I wanted it on my records, but Leslie Kong said, no, it wasn't right and that it wasn't my style.

The Four Aces asked me if I'd like to sing with them as they didn't really have a lead singer.

So, after school, I needed to learn a trade and started to work as a tailor.

Then my mother was taken ill and died and my father took me to St. Mary's.

Things will get better if you just hold out long enough.

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.

And I was really saying that no matter how bad things are there is always a calm after a storm, so don't give up on things.
