I am completely serious. When I decide to do something, I decide to really do it.

I couldn't turn down The Rolling Stones. A real man would never turn down the chance of working with legends like them.

Lots of people say it's the song. For me, it's not always the song - there's something bigger: the spirit of an artist.

There is very little genuine rock and roll out there at the moment - but Steve Conte has hit the nail on the head with this one!

My personality is very good for nurturing. I'm very empathetic to my artists. You speak to anyone who's worked with me and they'll say, "Oh yeah, Steve's great. He doesn't have the ego."

I can't make two records at the same time. Whatever I do, I have to concentrate on and put everything in, because if I don't, I'm just not good.

Men are shallow - we don't remember things like women do. Or we don't bring it up and blurt it out at inappropriate moments. When bridges are trying to be built, we don't detonate them.
