I'd probably be a super wealthy guy if I had sat around writing songs and getting them placed like everyone else I know. But I write songs about people or after I meet them and they're somewhat biographical - they're fiction but also non-fiction.

Bands always call me when they are in need of a boost and I come in and put them back on top.

In today's world, I probably would like to work with someone like Gaga.

I've been able to be a part of every movement in music over the last several decades. The only one that I haven't been involved in so much is hip-hop, which I chose not to be involved in because it felt like I would be what they called "perpetrating." It felt like hip-hop was so much of its own culture and that I was not part of that culture.

Artists don't come much cooler and well rounded than Lady Gaga. Love and respect.

If I could live in one city and do every single thing I do there, I would choose Venice. You can't turn your head without seeing something amazing.

After waiting four long years since the Lost CHIC Tapes were recovered, I'm finally putting out our first record. I'm like a child waiting for Christmas morning.
