You Can't Eat A Winner's Plaque.

Do Not Be Afraid Of Errors. There Are No Errors.

I Said To [lionel] Richie, "man, My Wife Says You Must Really Respect Women Because You Write Such Beautiful Love Songs."

I Put All Those Synthesizer Sounds Behind "decoy" And "code M.d." A Lot Of Things We Write Together. A Lot Of Things Are His, But They Don't Have That Thing I Want On The Bottom. I Often Tell Him, I Say, "bobby [irving], If There's A Melody, There's Another One Somewhere That Goes With It."

In Music, Silence Is More Important Than Sound.

I Usually Write From The Rhythm Section...if A Drummer Got A Funky Beat On Some Things - Like A Half-shuffle Or A Shuffle Or A Backbeat That's Even - I Can Write Something.
