We were in the Green Room watching Elvis Costello, and I thought it was pretty good. He still is not that bad. But we were told he was a huge fan.
Nobody knew exactly what it was going to do, I mean it didn't have big promotion or anything, it just happened.
Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn't angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn't understand why Robin had done it.
I was in my bath and looked down-my body was covered with bruises. When Robin came home from the hospital, he had bruises in exactly the same places.
People accuse us of being nothing more than a disco band now, but they don't know what they're talking about. If you listen to our records, you'll find that there's dance music. But there are also ballads like 'More Than A Woman.' And there are some very beautiful, undanceable songs, too.
Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.
We recorded this song about six years ago in Australia. It didn't do a bloody thing then, and I don't think this version will do anything today.
When we write, we complement each other. We wrote six songs, Barry and I, while Robin was ill during the American tour, and they were terrible until Robin came back, and then everything worked out.
We expected to have a good time with Clive Davis 'cause I've always liked him, his shows. I've sort of followed his career a bit 'cause he had a lot of that on PBS over here.
Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.
We expected to have a good time with Clive Anderson 'cause I've always liked him, his shows.
Robin hasn't got a big nose - but I can soon arrange that.
Jim Morrison's very good looking, but I don't like this version of the song. The Feliciano version is better.
Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.
