I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

Frank Sinatra said this great thing, that singing isn't about singing in tune, or great technical singing. It's about making people believe in the story you're telling.

I don't care much about success or anything like that. I've only ever wanted life to be an adventure.

What was great about the 80s was that you still had record companies who would get behind developing you as an artist. You had these bonkers heads of department and A&R people who, even after a flop album, would let you make another one.
