I've never stayed awake at night over a chance I took that failed, but I've stayed awake over chances I didn't take.

Doing new stuff live is tough just simply because I pay my money, I stand in my seats, and I see the guys I love. And if I paid that ticket, there's a good chance that I'm there to hear the stuff that made me fall in love with 'em - we call it the "old stuff." And if an artist comes in town and dumps his entire new album on me, as a listener in a concert venue, it happens to miss out on the old stuff that I came there for. That doesn't work too well for me as a listener. Most of the time for concerts, it's the old stuff.

That smell of freshly cut grass makes me think of Friday night football in high school. The smell of popcorn and cigar smoke reminds me of the stadium. The cutting of the grass reminds me of the August practice.

Somebody that comes and dumps a brand-new album on me and doesn't play the old stuff, I'm pissed!

I got an offer in 1992 to buy a major-league team. I turned down the offer because I don't want my love of the game to involve business.

What I do is so this world will know that it will not change me.

I don't fly any awards at the house. Any award you get is usually for something you've done in the past. And I like to keep looking forward.
