When you find a song that you love, you just have to do it - why would I try to match it? When I wrote more of the songs in the '90s - 'Nick of Time' and other songs I was surprised I came up with - it was because nobody else was saying what I wanted to say.

The Simpsons take up so little time that I'm able to do other things as well.
Tobacco marketing often reaches children and youth and entices them to start using tobacco while they are still at an impressionable age.
