I'm a car singer, in fact sometimes I pretend to take my dog out for a walk, and I'll just drive him around and start singin'.

I write songs for people who drive in cars. I really do.

When I'm in the car and somebody comes on the radio singing the high notes, I try to sing along.

I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.

I write music with an exclamation point!

I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.

I've made club songs, and I've made radio songs, and I've made the car songs.

I started writing lyrics out of desperation. I was broke and wondering where my next job, my next meal was coming from, although I had had several successful revue songs on Broadway.

I don't listen to the radio, cause I don't have a driver's license. But if I'm in L.A. or somewhere where we have to rent a car, I'll hear my songs. Sometimes I hear them when I'm in stores, and I'm still like a little kid in a candy shop: 'Oh my God, that's my song!' I don't know how that could ever get old.

These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.
