I don't really like to sit around the house listening to my own records. They're not that good.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

I got arrested once on stage in Memphis for looking too much like Liza Minnelli.

Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.

Music is my love and to me acting is more mercenary. I don't pound the pavements for roles: if it happens, it happens. I hate that auditioning thing.

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.

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