Live performance is my mainstay because record sales are down from what they were in the Seventies. This isn't just because of illegal downloading - I think these days we are surrounded by so much music all the time there is less incentive to own it.
I really don't write for anybody else, I only write for myself. I'm one of those terribly self-centred kind of singer-songwriters who can only really feel my own passion, so when Dolly Parton or Tina Turner or Phil Collins has sung my songs before...Céline Dion...it's like a real honour.
