Richard Marx

“I understand that, but this disc shows the type of music that I've always liked and wanted to make.”

“I don't think I've ever laid out a batch of songs that pick myself apart the way that these do.”

“I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.”

“But more importantly, I think he remembered how very close I was with my own dad, who had died in 1997.”

“But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.”

“I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay.”

“I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.”

“I've never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.”

“My joke, which isn't really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs.”

“I think I do better when things are a little tougher.”
