That's because the name has almost become a brand name. My essence is still me. But that name Corey Hart refers to this an album.

Along the beach I never collected shells from my father's shore.

I've never done anything to try to make money. Had I done that, I assure you, I'd be a much wealthier man than I am today.

It's weird. Prior to having my first record, Corey Hart was just my name.

It's so interesting how a child gravitates to a certain type of creative expression.

Whether it catches up to what the world sees or record companies or radio or everybody wants - you can't be the architect of that.

I certainly listen to my old songs from time to time and I hear the roots of what I'm doing today. But they were written from a young man's viewpoint.

I like that I'm a Gemini. I just like the duality of it but I don't check my moon rising or anything like that.

When I sit down at a piano, I feel what's going on in my life and what led up to it. Certain songs are born from that motivation.
