From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.

Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.

You've got to create a dream. You've got to uphold the dream. If you can't, go back to the factory or go back to the desk.

In a nut shell, air travel is the worst part about touring.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.

Have you seen 'American Idol' lately? I'm sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call 'Rock n' Roll.

The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldnt live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic.
