When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.
From Richard Marx
I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
As a songwriter, there's nothing better than winning Song Of The Year. But I couldn't really celebrate, because it wasn't right. Luther wasn't standing next to me, to receive the award.
I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.
I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose.
But I'm just having fun playing and giving Botox injections to the older songs.
I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.
People take songs so literally.
