You have to change musically. Bubble gum pop was good for the first time you have sex. They didn't want to give the OK on some really good music. It was the frustration of being signed to that label. I was depressed.

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.

I'm not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.

Frank Sinatra is the only one that went from teen idol to superstar.

Somehow I wasn't completely crucified by the critics. I don't know how or why, I probably should've been.

They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.

Having regrets and things, it just takes your time away.
