“I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.”

“I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I dont, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.”

“Ive been working at performing for five years now. Ive been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16, 1 was performing in bars; I could have had legal problems, but its also the only way to get to know what music is all about.”

“In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.”

“I love the soul sound that the Bee Gees are into now, and thats the kind of feel that I want to have on all my records. Unfortunately, though, I dont write in that vein.

“Ill have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.”

“Sometimes being with Victoria was like tiptoeing through a mine field. Put one foot wrong and everything is going to be blown sky-high. It was exciting, but often frightening. She had a terrible temper at times.”
