When someone picks up one of my songs and records it, I'm a flattered man, it's a blessing to me.
If I read something and respond to the role, that's what happens, and if those happen to be a few comedies in a row, or not, so be it.
I just throw it out and see what happens. If it sounds and feels right, then I continue.
The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.
I like to think I've changed the centre of gravity on lots of national debates.
The highest praise is when a kid says, 'This book feels so real; this could have happened at my school.'
So I did 'Something Happened on the Way to Heaven' and the original version is a ballad. The original Phil record is uptempo but we slowed it down and made it a ballad.
