I Try To Be A Good Guy

I'm Going To Be True To What I Want To Do, Because If I Care What People Think About Me, I'm A Puppet. Which I Have Been In My Life. And You Can't Live Life That Way, Man!

I Didn't Grow Up With Broadway Music. My Mother Played Perry Como, While I Listened To Andy Williams Records. Later On It Was Cream, Grand Funk Railroad And Lots Of R&b Like The Isley Bros. And Parliament.

I Could Play It Safe By Recording Songs That Are Familiar, But Am I Expanding Myself As An Artist By Doing Covers? It's A Catch-22. It's Called Show Business: The Word 'business' Is In It, And You've Got To Be A Businessman. But Then Again, You Have To Be True To Yourself As An Artist.

Always Surround Yourself With People Who Are Better Than You. If You're Hanging Around Bad People, They're Going To Start Bringing You Down . . . But, If You Surround Yourself With Good People, They're Going To Be Pulling You Up.
