After 'Sports' came out in the fall of 1983, everything changed for me. Four of the album's singles became top-10 hits, and by the end of June in 1984, the album was No. 1 on the Billboard chart. It was quite a ride, and for the first time I had enough money to live the way I wanted.

Take it from me, its hip to be square.

The choices I make - they have to be creative.

Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll is still beating.

You only go from nowhere to everywhere once. Let's enjoy it!

Film is a lark to me - thank God I don't have to make a living from it.

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher. Step by step, rung by rung, climbing Jacob's ladder.
