I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible.

Australians are very provincial in many ways. If they feel that you've used them as a stepping stone to bigger things, they resent it.

I like kind of varied songs, not just the same song all the time. And I thought things like "Too Sentimental" is a different thing for us, but it works and we love the way they all came out. There's definitely varied songs on there.

I'm a big fan of simplicity, especially with songs and I try not to make them complicated. I just make them simple and let people absorb that message themselves. That's my theory.

I'm playing great music with great people and so there's no reason to stop.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.
