There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

My real name was Thomas Jones Woodward, so I dropped the Woodward.

I like to drink to suit my location.
