Our first record, 'Huey Lewis And The News', was seen by no one - it sold 25 copies.

I got a very good life. I sold plenty of records, I get recognized plenty, I can always have somebody call up and get me a fine table at a restaurant. What do you really need, ultimately?

The choices for me now are completely creative. I know, when I'm going to make a record, it ain't going to sell.

Well, we were originally called Huey Lewis and the American Express. But on the eve of the release of our first record, our record label, Chrysalis Records was afraid that we'd be sued by American Express.

I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.

Film is a lark to me - thank God I don't have to make a living from it.
