“She asked us to write some songs for her next album, which is what became [the multimillion-selling] Private Dancer. We couldn’t because our heads were already really inside our next project, and we were pretty daunted by the idea of writing for her too. We suggested covers for her instead, like David Bowie’s 1984, which she did brilliantly. Do I regret not writing for her? No, but I do regret the royalties!” – Martyn Ware in The Guardian.
