Kim Carnes

I write from what's in my heart. I write what I love and have always done that.

Nashville has a great creative atmosphere. It's a small, close-knit music community that you can't find anywhere else.

The European public has always been great to me.

Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

I've done gospel songs on every album.
