“I didn't feel the inclination to put myself out on a limb that much on my first solo album. I stayed with songs that are simple and unpretentious. That's what I do best.”
Christine McVie
“[After taking a critical hit in his first non-solo musical venture on Broadway with the short-lived Laughing Room Only, Mason noted the return to his roots.] I am excited about getting back to what I do best and what my audience likes best, ... I am writing new jokes every day and soon Ill be telling them every night. Just me... one Jew talking and that's it.”
Jackie Mason
“This is going to be the first time we're racing solo. I would think that there will be fewer yellows. This was also the race we had our first win last year. In fact, it's also the place I clinched my first U.S. title in 1994. So this track has some previous success for me. I'm looking forward to going back.”
Wayne Taylor
“The first solo nonstop is a grand endeavor,”
Steve Fossett
“I don't believe in having bands for solo records.”
Mick Jagger
“[as the garbage compactor closes in] Han Solo: One thing's for sure, we're all gonna be a lot thinner.”
Harrison Ford
“[Also a songwriter (and guitarist), she's working on a solo CD.] It's kind of up in the air, ... I'm having a hard time; I want to make it special. Musical theatre is my first love. My writing is sort of folk-rock. I get compared to Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell — though I'm not nearly as talented as either. Neither a straight-pop album nor a musical-theatre album seems the way to go. I want to take my music and orchestrate it in a kind of old fashioned style, and take some standards and 'popularize' them — do a true crossover. I'm working on it.”
