We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lotta times we'll go upstairs and sing until daylight - gospel songs. We grew up with it...It more or less puts your mind at ease. It does mine.

A lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.

I've spent a life time waiting for the right time, now that you're near, the time is here at last.

I've never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the first time we go on.

All I want is to know the truth, to know and experience God. I'm a searcher, that's what I'm all about.

They put me on television. And the whole thing broke loose. It was wild, I tell ya for sure.

Hey buddy, don't you be no square, if you can't find a partner use a wooden chair.
