I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

Anyone can look pretty with hair and make-up.

I've learned now to talk, act or walk famous. I can still walk around New York, without being molested or bothered. I don't mind autographs - that's part of it. I just do not see the point of being "out there" or behaving outrageously. It will bring nothing but trouble.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
