I was essentially trained by Oscar Hammerstein to think of songs as one-act plays, to move a song from point A to point B dramatically Picture Quote #1

I think my most famous was ‘Poco’s Legend.’ It’s a white album with a simple line drawing of a horse. It almost has a Picasso feel to it.

I want you to do it in several lines.’ Picture Quote #1

I would love to do a song with Janet Jackson. Janet was, is, forever will be, the ultimate. She’s the ultimate dream girl for every guy - and for every girl Picture Quote #1

Longer is not my best song, it’s just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song Picture Quote #1

You write a song about how you think at the time, and then gradually you drift away from that, and when it’s far enough in the past, that’s when you think, ‘Now I have to write something new.’ Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, I’m driving along in my car, and a song from my high-school years comes on the radio: Springsteen’s ‘Thunder Road.’ Just the opening few chords make me want to roll down the window and let the wind blow back my hair Picture Quote #1

Duke Ellington had a song, What Am I Here For? - this is what being pro-life is Picture Quote #1

Each day we live is a glass roomUntil we break it with the thrustingOf the spirit and pass throughThe splintered walls to the green pasturesWhere the birds and buds are breakingInto fabulous song and hueBy the still waters.- Each Day We Live is a Glass Room Picture Quote #1

I’m awful at karaoke, but if I did have to sing, I’d go for my favourite Frank Sinatra song ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin.’ The fact I love Frank is my grandfather’s doing: he drummed it into me from a very early age that Frank Sinatra is God Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to get into an easy routine but the problem with that is you can tend to write the same song over and over again Picture Quote #1

I want to write a song about one man’s level of commitment called, I’d walk to the edge of the world, just to dump your body Picture Quote #1
