Maybe my songs are my partner. How 'bout that? Yeah, the biggest relationship I have is with my songs.

My wife is cool enough to let me write about personal things, to be a songwriter exploring the shadowy sides of love.

I sing to my wife; it helps me. She was my muse. I've written so many songs about her, to her, with references to her, and still do. She's a big part of my life. We were together for 33 years. It actually does me good - she's with me all that time in that way.

We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.

I'm sort of a gay man trapped in a woman's body when it comes to music sometimes - it's crowded in here!

The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!

I'm so proud that my offspring became a musician. I'm full of awe that we are able to have a whole family live the life of artists.

The only thing I have ever really cared to be known as is a musician.
