Film is a lark to me - thank God I don't have to make a living from it.
I am deluded enough to think I can bring something to the table.
I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.
I know my choices will be creative so long as I follow my heart.
I may be the most recognizable name in the cast, but I can guarantee that I am not the most talented.
I toured the UK in the 1970s with a little-known pub rock band. The day we landed, Johnny Rotten spat in the face of a reporter and the game was on for punk and off for us.
I was knocked out by the show, Chicago.
I was never thought of as a radio-friendly voice and so, in our quest for commercialisation, I was singing less and less.
New York was the inspiration for The Heart of Rock and Roll and Workin' for a Livin'. There are a lot of songs in the streets of New York.
Our first record, 'Huey Lewis And The News', was seen by no one - it sold 25 copies.
Plan A worked well for 24 years. Plan B is the record we would have made if Plan A hadn't worked. It's anachronistic.
The idea was to write the songs as they came to us, rehearse them, play them on the road, then, when there were 12, take them into the studio.
The object was to have a career.
Today, it's very tempting to create songs by cutting and pasting in the studio.
We had several hits in the States but probably only one big one in Europe. The crowds are smaller.
When Clover broke up, I had to come back to the US, find my six favourite musicians and form a band to play the local pub-and to hell with the music business.
Saying sulfates do not cause acid rain is the same as saying that smoking does not cause lung cancer.
I firmly believe that music is a thrill, not a frill.
