'The Last Five Years' is this quintessential piece, and every song is an actor's song, and every song is incredibly difficult and incredibly powerful and incredibly amazing. It was one of those things in college where, like, you gauged how good you were by how well you were able to pull off a song from 'The Last Five Years.'

'The Last Five Years' was a musical in 2002, and it's a deconstruction of a marriage.

'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.

I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.

'Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.

This is my seventh decade... and every once in a while I get a hankering to re-visit these songs again... songs with which I have had a great relationship.

When you hear the first five seconds to a song and you've pretty much heard the whole song, that's kind of a bummer.

Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing that's lasting.

I wasn't thinking of the longevity of any of my songs, but I am extremely pleased with the lasting effect.

There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.
