I had written this really depressing ending in which when everybody says you get over things, and I thought I would love again, but wrong again.

But I must say I am happiest when something hits and I've written it with Barry. After all these years, I am still amazed by his genius.

You just have to believe in yourself when you've got something, and just keep pounding on the door, because if you pound long enough, somebody is going to open it.

We all have fertile creative periods and times when we can't figure out how we ever did it.

My nature is to be linear, and when I'm not, I feel really proud of myself.

On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off.
