Rick Springfield

I mean I was famous for nothing.

I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.

You never really shake depression and that's a tough road you have to deal with.

You're always searching for the thing to heal you, and I thought therapy would give me that. But it didn't - it just helps you recognize your demons.

Relationships and the stress of the world going down, it puts a lot of stress on people, you know financially.

Yes, all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.

When you have a kid and people go, 'What a beautiful child,' it's the same kind of reaction when you play a song that people recognize and love.

I love acting.

It would be pretty shabby to appear flippant around a documentary that's about how much I love my fans.

There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.
