I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star.

If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?

To be on 'Coast to Coast,' you have to be willing to stay awake in the middle of the night. But in return you get a great audience of millions of listeners all across the nation.

The Sun, Moon and Stars are there to guide us.

It is my hope that during my brief passage through this universe, that I may share with you the joy of hearing the music of the stars... knowing that the composer was from a distant place and the songs were written eons ago, which now fall gently on this place for all to hear.

Now I can broadcast to an audience of several million people on the 'Today' programme. I can talk about the day's news. But on radio, believe it or not, we have notes and scripts.

We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas.

Reach for the stars.

We've got our own daylight to get bad thoughts away, and we talk with that light - our star in our heart. We take away what's unimportant.
