I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.

After things started to happen here, my choice of material was extremely limited. It was a weird situation.

There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.

I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.

Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.

Morrissey wrote to me and said, I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972, I said, what time, where?
