“It would be pretty shabby to appear flippant around a documentary that...” — Rick Springfield Quote

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

The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.

Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.

I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.

The whole point of me doing a Christmas record and what I centered it around was the song 'Christmas with You' from the point-of-view of the soldiers in Iraq.

I'd come to the country to do my Thoreau bit, so I needed an office that looked out onto the woods for inspiration. I converted one of the bedrooms into my workspace and through its windows watched the wildlife appear each morning with the sunrise. Many were the days I would sit in wonder, coffee in hand, for hours.

I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

This perception that we can be stars without any work and just appear is rubbish.

Yes, I think I am like the sea. I appear calm on the surface, but there's a lot going on within. Many a times, I may not react to certain things, but that doesn't mean that I don't care or I don't have emotions.
