• You can't please everybody, and basically I just decided to please myself first on this record. This record is more like my diary and I am expressing myself through my music.

The old saying goes that video killed the radio star and it's very true. And now I'm just letting everything revolve around the music. There is no image; I am just being myself.

I tried not to think about him in the garden where I thrice plucked the petals off a daisy to ascertain his feelings for Harriet.

My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
