I have always been a sucker for the big, upbeat chorus.

I wish I had a nickel for every song that I've left in the bathroom, written down on a matchbox, or just totally forgotten about

When I was a kid, I liked the newer music that was coming out. I have never really felt confined by any style of music. I would play in bands that were soul bands or that played standards - any kind of music that I enjoyed playing.

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member

I don't like looking back.

If music became extinct now, I dont know what Id be good for.

I love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds.
