I'm a professional songwriter - personal attitudes have nothing to do with writing a song.

The popular song is America's greatest ambassador.

Every song, the title dictates the architecture of the song.

I had no particular image of Chicago in mind when I wrote 'My Kind of Town.' All I wanted to do was write a song in praise of Chicago, and that's what I did.

Do you think I'm wandering around all day thinking, 'I must write a song called 'Three Coins In The Fountain'?' Only an idiot would do that.

Love and marriage, love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. Dad was told by mother. You can't have one without the other.
