It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.

I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.

Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!

I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.

After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.

I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.

Frank's audience doesn't care if a girl singer, a comic or an organ grinder with a monkey opens the show. They are there to see HIM.
