When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

You can't listen to what people who aren't musical have to say. When Anytime was released, I had bad reviews, and at first I was hurt. Your songs are like your children. You don't want to hear, 'Your kid is ugly.' But I knew the record was good and it would sell.

Whenever I fill out the job description I put 'songwriter', never 'singer' or 'artist.' Singers come and go.
