I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. What we're trying to do is play rock 'n' roll, but other people call it different things.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

I've been around the block a couple of times, and the guy I am now is the guy I like to be.

It's really a drag to do the same project over and over again.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.
