I'm a big fan of simplicity, especially with songs and I try not to make them complicated. I just make them simple and let people absorb that message themselves. That's my theory.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

Australians are very provincial in many ways. If they feel that you've used them as a stepping stone to bigger things, they resent it.

I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible.

I'm playing great music with great people and so there's no reason to stop.

I'm a big techno fan. I love that thumping kick drum. We heard a version of 'Lost in Love' and it was thrash metal. It sounded cool!

A jealous man always finds more than he is looking for.

I don't really map anything out. I just let it happen [while writing]. But once it happens, it's always there. If it's laid, it's played. If I get to page 300 and it's not working, I junk it.

All I have to do is pose for a picture and I'm getting married to the person standing next to me.

I may be revered or defamed and decried; But I tried to live my life right.
