Actually, if I could deliberately sit down and write a pop hit, all my songs would be pop hits! Let's put it this way. I play what I like to hear. And sometimes I like to hear something poppy, and sometimes I don't.

I'm a huge David Lindsay-Abaire fan. If I could write, I would want to write like him.

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.

I like my old nose. If I could get it out the cupboard and put it on, then I would.

It's all about sound. It's that simple. Wireless is wireless, and it's digital. Hopefully somewhere along the line somebody will add more ones to the zeros. When digital first started, I swear I could hear the gap between the ones and the zeros.

If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would.
