It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.

There is nothing that I would do ever to break my mother's heart.

The death of rock was not a natural death. Rock did not die of old age. It was murdered.

I like to approach every day like it's the only day I will ever have.

I voted for President Bush. I voted for President Clinton and although I do want my vote back, I voted for President Obama.

Most people are so busy living they neglect to take the time to ask why.

That's why I'm a big supporter of the death penalty. I want to be the hangman. I would put many more people to death like the kids who want to kill other people, I'd put 'em to death. Postal workers who get arrested, they have mental problems. You know what? When you're dead you don't have a mental problem. If you take a life, I will take yours. Put me in charge, I will fix it.
