My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up, so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics, they're the best songs ever.
I think everybody in my generation, we wanted to be Elvis.
The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.
My advice is: if you've got to be miserable to write great music, then drive a truck.
I keep things pretty simple.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
