I was really amazed when I started hearing 'Songbird' on the radio. I couldn't believe that the record company promotion department had actually convinced radio music directors to play it -because there wasn't anything like it on the radio at the tim...
I like radio better than television because if you make a mistake on radio, they don't know. You can make up anything on the radio.
An Egyptian newspaper once publicly identified me as the C.I.A. station chief in Cairo. It seemed so stupid at the time. I was only 24, a little young to be a station chief, and, of course, I was never with the C.I.A.

On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.
'Boneless,' even though we were thinking about servicing it to radio, it made more sense putting a vocal on there. This was actually the first time that I really looked at doing a song for radio and kind of let go of some control and listened to a lo...
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
If 'Life in Marvelous Times' can't get on the radio, then I don't need to be on the radio.
