Anything that's new wave is new. As far as punk rock goes, I've never really been exposed to any.

Every time you go in and make a record it is like a calling card, not so people can come and hear you live or are interested in your catalog.

I know I'm not going to sing like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley or any of those people.

[European audiences differ from American] they talk different. The ones in Holland speak Dutch. The ones in Switzerland speak Swiss. That's the only difference.

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.

My father had a couple of Mitch Miller records and a Spike Jones record, and that was it. My older brother had two or three Elvis Presley singles, and that was about it. The rest of it I did on my own.

If you don't start drinking, I'm gonna leave.
