Everybody knows it hurts to grow up... and we're still fighting it.

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

I'm older than I was, and I'm still washed-up, and I haven't changed my music one iota. It's just much easier to do this when people are being nice to you.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

I've done gospel songs on every album.
