I Hate The Actual Traveling,

Even Though It's Become A Really Cliched Thing To See Musicians Working For Charity, It's Still Effective And It Still Has To Be Done.

I Have To Believe That Somebody Up There Thinks I've Still Got Some Work To Do.

My Dad Worked In A Very Typical First-generation Immigrant Fashion - 24 Hours A Day For Years.

I Just Feel "one More Try" Is Better Lyrically. "careless Whisper" Was Written When I Was 17 Years Old, And I Had Not Really Experienced Anything That Strong In My Life, So It Was A Bit Precocious.

I Guess I Was About 15. I Wore Glasses At The Time, And I Remember [first Girlfriend] Sitting On The Floor At A Party, One Of Those School Parties Where Everyone Is Getting Off With Each Other. I Remember Her Taking My Glasses Off And Saying Something Very Complimentary About My Eyes Or Whatever, And I Was Just So Pissed Off Because I Was Convinced She Was Taking The Piss Out Of Me.
