What I really like to do is just do the twist!

The way I was singing the songs was jazz

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

J.P. Donleavy - now he's one writer I am consistent with. He's written books that I can definitely connect with. He has amazing insights which other people missed out on. Even with his descriptions of Northern Ireland.

I wanted to find out why I wasn't getting off on what I was doing and try and make some sense out of the evolution of it.

You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.

Somebody's going to hear a song that will key in a nerve or something in their experience that represents their own vision. And the next person is going to see it completely different. So even what it means to me is probably irrelevant. It's totally irrelevant. What matters is what it means to each person listening to it.
