The Teutons have been singing the swan song ever since they entered the ranks of history. They have always confounded truth with death.

Death is delightful. Death is dawn The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.

Truthfully I'm still Corey Hart Dad first.

I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time you just can't.

I know who my dad is I've met him a few times but I don't even call him dad. I know it sounds horrible but I don't even see him as part of my family to be honest. If you want the truth it doesn't bother me because I don't know any different. I just know that me and my mum that was my family.

My dad's era believed that there was something noble in being a good guy - the kind of guy that lived straight and narrow told the truth and stood up for what he believed was right.

My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he's screaming right-wing so there you are.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'

Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.
