"It's only right that I should say these things because there are people out there who have never heard of these singers — the same as I hadn't two years ago. They might say, 'Well, Elvis Costello says they're good.' Like when they did a Lee Dorsey compilation in England, Joe Strummer wrote the sleeve notes, which seemed kind of odd, but it's a good thing in a sense because some Clash fan who might listen to what Joe says might go and check out the record. I take every available opportunity to say how much that stuff means to me without being fawning. | "It's only right that I should say these things because there are people out there who have never heard of these singers — the same as I hadn't two years ago.

I met the Holland brothers (who composed many of Motown's biggest hits) last year in Los Angeles and I never actually once got to say how much I really admired them. I actually couldn't get the words out. It was one of those things where it was actually embarrassing. There was so much I wanted to say. They literally wrote the book — all the songs that were important to me at those painful years of 14, 15 and 16. They pretty much wrote all of them — all the ones that Smokey Robinson didn't write. | ||
"I once said that I'd like to write a song that meant as much to somebody as 'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me' meant to me when I was a lad. It might've sounded a bit glib but I did mean it sincerely. It's hard to say those things." | "I once said that I'd like to write a song that meant as much to somebody as 'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me' meant to me when I was a lad.
