I don't think you need to dumb down to a child, you merely have to be clear, you know?

You know, that single girl life and that sense of isolation - that doesn't leave you just like that. And that's what that song is about. I remember that, and that is imprinted on me, that sense.

I like to feel that every day or most days, I do a little bit of writing. I am a creature of habit in terms of the way I live.

Some people say that you should not tempt fate and for them I cannot disagree, but I never learned anything from playing it safe. I say fate should not tempt me.

Every sleepy boy and girl in every bed around the world- Can hear the stars up in the sky whispering a lullaby

Was it a light only she could see? A gypsy's spell? A mystery?

You've gotta know happy. You've gotta know sad. 'Cause you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad
