I Actually Have Two Hats

I Always Say It Took Me 10 Minutes To Write 'cars,' But If I Am Honest It Could Have Been Even Less Than That - And It Has Been A Really Successful Song Over The Years. It Is Still Massively Used, In Advertising, In Films, And People Do Cover Versions Of It A Lot.

Album Sales Have Collapsed, With Few Artists Making Money From Albums; Touring Is More Lucrative. But I'm 53 Now And Won't Be Able To Tour Forever, So A Logical Step Is To Get Into Writing Film Scores. Trouble Is, You Need To Be Somewhere Which Has A Big Film Industry - Another Reason Why I'm Thinking About Living In California.

I'm Very Lucky In The Sense That I've Got A Voice That's Distinctive. Not Good, But Distinctive. That's A Very Useful Thing To Have In This Business. I'm Glad On The One Hand That I've Got It, But I Wish It Was More Powerful. I Wish I Had A Greater Range. I Wish It Was More Accurate At Times.

I Don't Believe In Sharing My Money. If I Go Out And Work My Nuts Off And Make Some Money, I Don't Feel That I Should Have To Share It With My Community.

Maybe I Over-do The 'not-80s' Thing. It Should Be A Part Of My Life That I've Got Some Sort Of Pride In, But I've Got This Huge Chip On My Shoulder About '80s Nostalgia - And It Annoys Fans Sometimes.
