I'm a fine artist working in a commercial arena, so that's my cross to bear

We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.

I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.

You know, Neil Young is singing Rock n' roll will never die, and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him.

I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person; that's the nature of the work I do.

I have lost my credibility as a hit maker because of these side excursions into other branches of music; by not being consistent. Consistency seems to be all-important.

My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
