Quote related to 'Too Much Love Will Kill You' from 'Made In Heaven'

If there was ever a song for which I would have wanted to win a prize for, this would have been the one. Perhaps there are two kinds of song. Some songs happen, simply because somebody sits down and decides to write a song. But there is another kind, like this one, which has to be written, because the writer has no choice. This happened at a time when I was going through a very difficult period; it was written as a kind of therapy. In this case I was very much the patient and Frank was very much the therapist who helped me through it. The song was an important part of my life, and really still is, so this award means a lot to me.
