I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.

I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.
